cbenoit Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 License to Swill: D.C.’s Unique Booze Laws Allow a Way Around the Middleman. Guess Who Isn’t Happy? http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/youngandhungry/2013/08/07/license-to-swill-d-c-s-unique-booze-laws-allow-a-way-around-the-middleman-guess-who-isnt-happy/ One thing the (very good) article doesn't mention is that many DC licensed wholesalers are actually MD/VA wholesalers. The Bud Light trucks roll in with Maryland plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porter Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 "Anywhere else in the country, that would be illegal; all alcohol purchases in the 50 states must be made through state-licensed wholesalers. " He also isn't correct in that several states including Missouri allow selling at all three tiers; retail, wholesale, distribution by the distillery without any middleman. The bar owner in the article could go direct to an in-state distillery and buy his booze if he were in MO. and the distillery had the right state license.
