National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) members gathered in Washington, D.C., this week to meet with members of Congress in person for the first time in more than two years as part of the trade group's annual legislative conference.
Outreach to lawmakers and regulators earned the beer industry the essential designation that allowed it to continue operating during the most locked-down period of the COVID-19 pandemic, NBWA president and CEO Craig Purser reminded attendees before briefing them on the group's legislative priorities ahead of their visits to Capitol Hill.
