Jeffrey O’Brien will be joined by John Szymankiewicz of the Beer Law Center to present, “Market Consolidation: Buying, Selling, Mergers, & More,” at the Virginia Brewers Conference on Tuesday, September 22, 2026 in Richmond, Virginia.
Business owners tend to look at their business as an “all or nothing” option. Whether you’re looking to enter or exit a craft beverage business, there are other options to consider. This presentation will hit the highlights and do’s-and-don’ts of a traditional sale, but we’ll also cover other options for structuring a business deal. What about a Joint Venture? What, exactly, is a “merger?” Can I sell the brand or license the rights? Can I do a partial sale? Or sell to my employees? We’ll go through the details of what these other options look like as well as the pros and cons of each.
