DISCUS ‘Working to Explore Solutions for Retailers’

In a statement, Chris Swonger, president/CEO, said Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. is “working closely with regulators at the federal and state level to develop plans that ensure operational continuity, minimize disruptions and support economic assistance for hospitality industry workers.  At the federal level, we are:

  • “Coordinating with TTB to ensure business continuity and minimize disruptions
  • “Exploring how to minimize regulatory hurdles so that the industry can help address the hand sanitizer shortage
  • “Exploring with Congress opportunities to support small businesses in the hospitality industry including distilleries and their employees

“At the state level, we are working with states to explore creative solutions for on and off-premise establishments, such as easing regulations in states to permit curbside pick-up and home delivery to adults of legal purchase age. For example, in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, bars and restaurants will be provided a waiver for carry-out alcohol, effective at 8 p.m.” last night.
