Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Ted Zeller, liquor law attorney and recipient of the 2025 F.X. Matt Defense of the Industry Award from the Brewers Association. Chair of the Liquor Law Practice Group at Norris McLaughlin and General Counsel to both D.G. Yuengling & Son and the Brewers of Pennsylvania, Ted has spent decades shaping Pennsylvania's craft beer industry through landmark legislation, including authoring the Malt Beverage Tax Excise Credit and helping establish the taproom model that breweries across the state rely on today.
