Yuengling Terminates New York Distributor Boening

Dear Client: Yesterday Yuengling terminated its New York distributor, Boening Brothers Dist. (the sister company to Oak Beverage, which Yuengling had already terminated).   Yuengling has indicated that it would rather have no distributor in the market than be with Boening, although one would assume that Yuengling would end up with Manhattan Beer.  Which is why Boening and Oak are suing both Yuengling and Manhattan in the New York State Supreme Court to stop the terminations, based on NY franchise law,
