I hope that all members of the MBAA have had a chance to see and peruse the new
MBAA Communicator. There certainly is much news and information that should be of interest to all. At this time I would just like to point out a new feature of the
MBAA Communicator—the “News on Tap.” The “News on Tap” link will take you to the MBAA homepage, where a handy, scrolling news ticker will give you the most recent news from our industry in one convenient site. And, even though the
MBAA Communicator is distributed weekly, the “News on Tap” is updated continually, so feel free to check your MBAA
homepage frequently for the most up-to-date beer-related news.

In one generation, the United States has been transformed from a market dominated by a single style of beer brewed by a handful of domestic brewers to the world’s most diverse beer market, featuring styles from more than 1,400 domestic breweries and countless international producers. This explosion of diversity has put new demands on retailers to maintain the quality and freshness of beer and educate Americans that beer “ain’t your father’s beer” anymore. To learn about the education program MBAA is developing for retailers who want to promote the new image of beer and build sales by improving the beer drinking experience of their customers, join Steve Holle (MBAA Beer Specialist Program Committee chair) at the
International Restaurant Show and Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show, March 1–4, 2009, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
