Jeffrey C. O’Brien of Chestnut Cambronne PA and Candace L. Moon, The Craft Brewery Attorney, have reached agreement to co-author “Brew Law 101: Minnesota Edition”, with publication expected sometime in 2017. The book will be designed as a comprehensive guide to the myriad of legal issues – both federal and state – that prospective brewery owners face as they start their business. Moon and her colleague, Stacy Hostetter, have previously authored “Brew Law 101: California Edition” in 2015. Both firms belong to the Craft Beer Attorney Coalition, which Ms. Moon founded in 2016.
Brew Law 101: Minnesota Edition will be a collaborative work following in the spirit of the craft beer industry, and will draw upon the experiences of both attorneys to create a practical and indispensable guide for new and existing breweries alike. The book will also feature the stories of several of Minnesota’s best craft breweries.
