Navigate the Gray Area of Hemp-Derived Beverages w/Shauna Barnes (Barnes Beverage Group)
It’s tough out there for breweries, and adding a hemp-derived product line might look like an enticing way to expand into new product lines. This presentation will cover the federal and state landscape for how to create a hemp-derived beverage, how best to mitigate risks to your alcohol licenses, and watch-outs and concerns at both the distribution and retail level. Attendees will leave with a road map to bringing a product to market and a list of best practices to mitigate potential risks to your core business.
Shauna Barnes founded Barnes Beverage Group to provide legal and compliance advice to alcohol beverage and beverage companies of all sizes and at all stages. She and her team have over 50 years of experience in the industry. She has stocked her firm with in-house legal and compliance professionals because she knows traditional law firm incentives don’t align with how companies approach business decisions. Shauna’s goal is to have her team be efficient and focused on risk in every engagement with clients. Their clients include nano, micro, and craft breweries, distillers, wineries, importers and brand owners, as well as established publicly traded companies, who are making all types of alcoholic and non-alcoholic products, including beer, wine, spirits, and beyond-beer. Shauna is a nationally Chamber’s ranked alcohol attorney with over a decade of experience giving legal advice to beverage companies on legal, compliance, and regulatory risks surrounding day-to-day operations, strategic planning, international expansion, product rollouts, and major promotions and marketing campaigns.
