Beer distributors often talk about the important role distributors play in the collection of state and local excise taxes and how distributors are the most efficient way for states to collect these taxes.To legitimize and quantify distributors’ important role in tax collection, NBWA contracted KMPG’s Washington National Tax Office to conduct a study on the structure and administration of state and local taxes on the distribution and sale of beer.

The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) and the Brewers Association (BA) are proud to announce that Origlio Beverage of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been selected as the 2009 Craft Beer Distributor of the Year.  The 2009 Craft Beer Distributor of the Year Award, which is in its third year, recognizes a beer distributor who does the most to market, promote and sell craft beer.  NBWA and BA presented the award jointly at the Great American Beer Festival September 26 in Denver, Colorado.
