The U.S. ban on Canadian alcohol is now in effect, but the impact isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.

The ban applies to certain Canadian-produced b**r, w**e and spirits entering the U.S. However, products shipped in bulk for U.S. bottling can qualify for an exemption. That means brands such as Crown Royal may continue to be available, while products produced and packaged entirely in Canada could face supply disruptions.

For hospitality operators, distributors and retailers, understanding how these exemptions apply is important as the new rules take effect.

Could home distilling be headed for a major legal change?

Federal law currently prohibits individuals from producing distilled spirits at home for personal consumption. Two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court challenge that prohibition, raising questions about the limits of Congress’s taxing and commerce powers.

The cases involve a longstanding federal restriction on home production of spirits and a disagreement between federal appeals courts over whether the restriction is constitutional. The Supreme Court is scheduled to consider the petitions on October 9.

For the distilled spirits industry, it’s a case worth watching as the Court considers the reach of federal alcohol regulation.

What happens when food, drinks, and an experience become the main event?

Orlando’s Food & W**e Festival is a snapshot of where hospitality is headed: experiential, highly curated, and designed to give guests more than a meal.

For the businesses behind these experiences, success also means navigating the licensing, alcohol, and regulatory considerations that come with serving the public. Showing up at a festival or pop-up like this usually means operating under a temporary permit rather than a standing license, and it comes with its own vendor agreement covering insurance, liability, and the terms under which alcohol can be sold and served on-site. Those contracts, along with local health and safety requirements, need to be reviewed well in advance.

The modern speakeasy is less about secrecy and more about the experience.

Hidden doors, intimate spaces, curated cocktails, and immersive concepts are giving guests another reason to stay awhile. Licensing structure for concepts like this can vary. Depending on how the space is designed and operated, it may call for a separate license, additional permitting, or other requirements. Every concept and location should be reviewed for licensing and zoning procedure before you secure the space.
