Beer distributors and brewers are preparing for the 16th Annual NBWA/Brewers Joint Legislative Conference, scheduled for May 8-11 in Washington, D.C., at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill.

"The Legislative Conference gives beer distributors a chance to educate lawmakers about the uniqueness of beer as a product and the important roles that distributors play in the marketplace," said NBWA President Craig Purser.

Lead issues this year will be the excise tax rollback, permanent estate tax repeal, and blocking efforts to depict a "standard serving" size graphic on beer labels.

Online registration for NBWA's beer distributor members is available via its web site at www.nbwa.org.
