>They're trying to pass another where you can only have ~60 events a year. This includes participating in events not only hosting.

Jesus, that's so sad. I'm guessing this includes beer festivals, which is most of my exposure to new/different breweries. It's not like bars are at festivals promoting their beer lol.

Personally I'm not a frequent drinker, but I do find the atmosphere of breweries to be much better than a bar, seems much more personal and intimate. A shame that the guys on top would rather stop emerging businesses vs adapting themselves.
