Today's NBWA General Session saw the association chief, Craig Purser, press the Brewers Association president Bob Pease on everything from craft trends to regulatory issues. Some general themes: Tasting rooms are still a sticking point between the tiers. And while small brewer access to market is still a concern in this new MegaBrew era -- it's "the biggest threat to the BA membership" -- Bob expressed optimism that the DOJ wants to protect competition, and is much better versed in the industry than it was just a few years ago.
