Breweries face many branding and marketing decisions that can impact their visibility, reputation, and growth. These decisions are fraught with legal ramifications that must also be considered. Through a moderated discussion, a brewery representative, branding expert, and attorney will explore several contemporary issues, including those arising from pop culture/celebrity-influenced beer names; expanding your distribution into new regions; extending your brand to new products; and protecting elements
beyond your brewery and beer names.
