Oklahomans, as most of us know, many of our liquor laws are outdated and stifle our economy. These archaic laws cause us to lose out on a chance to add more jobs and increase tax revenue for the state. First, local brewers are told to sell equal allocations to all wholesalers interested in their product. On the surface this sounds fair, but it actually causes harm to the brewery. It doesn't allow for true competition in the industry and breweries are forced to do business with wholesalers that don't have the local brewers best interest in mind(imagine having to grocery shop from every different store to complete your list, despite your feelings on quality and service). Let breweries decide who they do business with and who delivers you the product the way they intended it to be delivered to you. The current system only benefits the big wholesalers and not the brewer or public. Second, let breweries compete and provide their locally made products to the local public that love and support them. Wineries have been able to do this and their customers continue to buy local. Why can't breweries do the same? This will increase brand recognition, product demand, and tourism. Thus, more jobs due to expansion and tax revenue for schools and public projects. We have world class products being produced right here. Let us compete to win, not stay at the back of the pack because we won't change. We are awesome because we are Oklahoma. Raise a glass, call your representatives, sign this petition and help Oklahoma modernize it's laws like its neighbors. Support your local brewery, because they support you.
