    I get that. But think about it, 2600+ breweries in America and probably a third(?) are production breweries. How do they distribute without a middle man?

    Similar to how you don't know how to quote, you don't understand how today's technology will take over your archaic distribution model as soon as we get the legislators out of the way.
    Freedom!

    They do and they don't. In Indiana we can buy directly from wineries but have to pay the distributor a freight charge, because someone has to deliver it. That said, that's for retail.

    Otherwise for a customer it depends on where its coming from. Each state has different laws.

    All breweries under a certain size (I think 6 million barrels/year) can self distribute to consumers and retail in Colorado.
