Yuengling Denies Knowledge Of Pay-To-Play Bribes In Boston

imageFrom the Boston Globe:

Pennsylvania beer maker Yuengling, which returned to the Massachusetts market in force last year, did not know that one of its distributors was paying bribes to get Yuengling beer into a number of popular Boston bars, a top company executive said.

An investigation into illegal “pay-to-play” practices by Massachusetts alcohol regulators found that a beer distributor, Craft Brewers Guild, had paid $22,500 to two prominent restaurant chains, Briar Group and Lyons Group, to carry Yuengling in some of the 20 bars the two companies own.
