The Brewers Association of Maryland applauds the introduction of three industry-led initiatives to improve the laws for the state’s brewers.

“We are singularly focused on our legislation, based on our members’ priorities, and supported by nearly half of the General Assembly,” said BAM’s Executive Director, Kevin Atticks. “We are grateful for the support of the six lead sponsors and the many legislators who have signed on as co-sponsors.”

The three initiatives are designed to level the playing field for Maryland’s brewers by proposing generational changes that will help our brewers plan for future growth. The three initiatives boast a total of 112 sponsors.

“BAM members have spent the last nine months hosting visits with legislators to give them a true picture of the industry’s benefits to their community and to the state,” said BAM President, Cindy Mullikin of Mully’s Brewery in Prince Frederick.

Five of the bills will be heard this Friday, February 22 at 1pm in the House Economic Matters Committee and the Senate Education, Health & Environmental Affairs Committee. SB508 will be heard March 1 in Finance Committee.
