  • Relationship of Foreign Brewery with Importer/Distributor

    So I'm seeing lots of literature on the relationship between breweries and distributors in various states and the gist seems to be that brewery/distributor relationships are forever. How does this relate to a foreign brewery selling to a US importer who then contracts with distributors in various states? Is there a federal statute that determines the relationship with the importer? Is the brewery bound by the importer's contracts with distributors? What if the brewery decides that it's no longer feasible to sell in the US? (the dollar goes even further into the toilet). Is there a penalty for not continuing to sell to the importer? Is the importer penalized by the distributor?

    Please help. I've been a CPA for 30 years and I still can't understand all this crap.
