The AJC has obtained documents that show the GA Department of Revenue met with the Georgia Beer Wholesalers Association and advised them advance notice of their intent to issue a policy update to SB63.  The revisions hurt many of Georgia’s craft breweries with one brewer saying his tour revenue was cut in half after the update was issued.  After issuing the update the DOR refused to meet with representatives from the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild to discuss these changes, even though the Guild’s members were the ones this policy directly affected.

Officials with the Department of Revenue met with representatives of the Georgia Beer Wholesalers Association and gave the state’s major wholesalers group advance notice that it was working on a controversial regulation the agency issued in September, according to emails and agency records the AJC acquired through an Open Records Act request concerning the new regulation. Brewers, who said they were blind-sided by the new rule and say it threatens the future of the industry.
