Reply to comment by americanspirit64 in Brewery self-distribution bill passes through GA, awaits Youngkin's signature by fanrva

from reading this -i don't think you do understand why distribution companies exist. look into 'prohibition' and 'three tier system'.

I believe a lot of distribution companies exist, as a way to enforce antitrust laws and to prevent monopolies and flooding the market with just one brand. You should look at how the UK and Ireland distribution beer. There laws are all about protecting local breweries from just that flooding the market.
