The three-tier system in the United States and the reasons for its existence  \na. By law, alcoholic beverages sold in the United States must move through the three-tier system. The three tiers are Brewers/Importers, Wholesalers (also known as Distributors), and Retailers  \ni. Brewers and importers sell to wholesalers  \nii. Wholesalers sell to both on-and off-premises retailers  \niii. On-and off-premises retailers sell to consumers  \nb. Some states have granted exceptions to the three-tier system. Common exceptions include:  \ni. Brewpubs that both brew and retail to consumers  \nii. Breweries that brew and sell directly to retailers or consumers  \n2. Taxes levied on beer  \na. Specific taxes  \ni. Federal Excise Tax – paid by brewers  \nii. State Excise Tax – generally processed and paid by wholesalers  \niii. Sales taxes and other locally required fees – paid by retailers  \niv. Income taxes levied on brewers, distributors, and retailers  \n3. Assessing beer shipment: physical condition and age  \na. Date code if available  \ni. Meaning  \n• Bottling/packaging date  \n• Best by date  \nii. Type: Order and number of digits may vary  \n• Traditional consumer date codes (e.g., 060912 = June 9, 2012)  \n• Julian/ordinal date codes (364-12 = December 30, 2012)  \n• Brewery-specific date codes  \nb. Physical condition of container  \ni. Not dented or broken  \nii. No signs of leakage or box weakness  \nc. Temperature  \ni.

Alcohol’s effects  \na. Absorption and elimination  \nb. Physical and behavioral indicators  \n2. Responsible serving practices  \na. Provide accurate ABV information to consumers  \nb. Adjust serving size based on ABV  \nC. Beer storage  \n1. Beer is best consumed fresh  \na. When beer is released from the brewery, it is ready to drink  \nb. A very few strong or intensely flavored beers may age in ways that make them interesting to drink months or years later if properly cellared  \n2. Freshness can be preserved and enhanced by wholesaler and retailer actions  \na. Rotate inventory  \ni. Ensure that beer is consumed in the order of dating  \nii. Remove out of date products from service invento","cbCaibGJPmkfuObo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGJPmkfuObo","pdf",509639,21,"English","# Outline\n## I. Keeping and Serving Beer\n## II.
