Help WI's Small Breweries Retain Their Rights

This legislation effectively removes existant rights for small breweries, hinders job creation and harms Wisconsin's image. Find and contact your legislator:here. Your voice counts. Feel free to use the following as a template for contacting your legislator:

Dear Senator/Rep [Name Here]

I reside in your WI Senate District and want you to know that I OPPOSE Chapter 125 Branch Legislation unless it is written in that all current and future breweries (under 300,000 bbls) are exempt from these changes. As it stands now, it is detrimental to the small breweries which add much to the image of Wisconsin and are providing many jobs. Threatening either asset provided by the small breweries would be foolish and unacceptable. I urge you to vote against the legislation unless it includes the above.

Thank you.
