Mass. Alcoholic Beverage Control Charges Craft Beer Guild LLC In Pay-To-Play Investigation

imageFrom the Boston Globe:

The Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission, or ABCC, said Craft Beer Guild LLC violated a state rule against offering inducements to retailers to stock its products over those of competitors and a state law that prohibits distributors from charging different prices for the same products.

These are the first charges to emerge from a six-month probe into so-called pay-to-play practices that limit consumer choices by favoring one company’s products over another’s.
