SUMMARY:Craft Compliance: Non-Traditional Production
DESCRIPTION:To effectively regulate alcohol manufacturers\, State and Federal agencies assign producers into discrete categories and apply different provisions to each group. However\, given the variety of bev-alc companies operating today\, it’s not always clear what compliance looks like for all producers. \nIn this webinar\, regulatory expert Kevin Anderson will provide insights into the evolving world of compliance for non-traditional production. The discussion will cover such arrangements as contract production\, rotating proprietorship\, non-alcoholic beer\, wine\, and spirits\, and more. \nREGISTER\nA confirmation email with the Zoom login information will be sent after registration – a day before before the event – please be on the lookout for it. \n\n\nSPEAKER: As a Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority special agent\, Kevin Anderson was on the lookout for regulatory violations\, underage drinking and other vices. Today\, he has switched to the business side of the alcohol industry— navigating state and federal alcohol regulations for his winery\, brewery\, distillery\, wholesale and retail clients. After leaving the Virginia ABC Authority in 2015 Kevin became a consultant with ABC Consulting and BreweryCompliance.com\, a national consulting firm based in Virginia that offers state and federal licensing assistance along with compliance and consulting services.
