3 craft brewers are suing Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission over a 2013 law that prohibits the brewers from distributing their product.
The craft brewers liken the prohibition from retaining distribution abilities to TABC exercising eminent domain. The analogy is that the law gives distributors property, that isn’t theirs and that they didn’t earn without compensating the the owner of the property, the craft brewers.
The Institute for Justice is representing the craft brewers. The Institute for Justice also represented a person named Kelo in an eminent domain case that caused quite an uproar.
