Great Lakes vs Southern Glazer’s

Dear Client:We reported last week that Southern Glazer's (SG) has brought suit against Great Lakes Brewing and Boston Beer for the suppliers' termination of SG in Ohio.Catch up: This is a big steaming turd of an issue so hold your nose and read on. Suppliers say that, despite franchise agreements that mandate otherwise, their consent was not sought before Southern Wine & Spirits merged with Glazer's this year. That constitutes a material breach of the agreement, warranting termination, say they.
