What the Duvel?
Word arrives this afternoon that some bars are having difficulty getting new shipments of Duvel Belgian Golden Ale - certainly one of the biggest selling Belgian ales in America - because the PLCB registration list refers to it only as “Duvel Beer.” In other words, distributors are suddenly gun-shy because of the State Police beer raid… More to come.

Don, is the law clear as to what the penalties under law are for participating parties at various levels in these scenarios…. for Suppliers, Distributors, Retailers?

Here’s one excerpt from the law:
“Any importing distributor who accepts delivery of any brand of malt or brewed beverages which has not been registered with the Board by either the manufacturer or the franchisee will be subject to penalty as determined by the Administrative Law Judge. Such sanctions may include fine, suspension or revocation of license privilege.”
