  • The Economic Impact of the Craft Beer Industry in Iowa
    The Economic Impact of the Craft Beer Industry in Iowa Prepared for and funded by The Iowa Wine and Beer Promotion Board By Mike Lipsman, Harvey Siegelman, and Dan Otto Strategic Economics Group May 2015 Acknowledgements This study would not have been possible without the assistance and cooperation of a number of individuals and organizations. Colleen Murphy (Iowa Tourism Office) and J. Wilson (Iowa Brewers Guild) provided great assistance in identifying existing craft breweries and brewpubs and additional businesses still in the planning stage of development. In addition, we wish to thank them along with Ryan Rost (515 Brewing) and Bill Heinrich (Big Grove Brewery) for acting as test subjects for the Brewers Survey. We are very grateful to all of those associated with Iowa breweries and brewpubs that took time from their busy schedules to respond to the survey. Bob Bailey and Leisa Bertram (Communications Director and Accountant II, respectively, Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division) provided invaluable help in obtaining craft beer production, distribution, and sales data, as well as information on the regulation of the industry. Also, James Morris (Iowa Workforce Development) helped by compiling and aggregating employment and wage data from Iowa breweries and brewpubs. Finally, we greatly enjoyed the visits we made to Iowa breweries and thank Dave Ropte and Ryan Rost (515 Brewing), John Martin (Confluence), and Megan McKay (Peace Tree) for the time they spent answering our many questions regarding their individual businesses and the craft beer industry. Pictures used in the report were either taken by the authors or obtained from public Internet sites.

"Beer" means any fermented malt beverage containing one-half of one percent or more of alcohol by volume, brewed or produced from malt, wholly or in part, or from any substitute for malt. Beer includes lager beer, dark beer, bock beer, malt liquor and ale. 2. "HHI" means the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, a measure of market concentration calculated by squaring the market share of each firm compet ing in the market and then summing the resulting numbers. For example, for a market consisting of four firms with s hares of 30, 30, 20, and 20 per cent, the HHI is 2600 (302 + 302 + 202 + 202 = 2600). The HHI takes into account the relative size and distribution of the firms in a market. It approaches zero when a market is occupied by a large number of firms of relatively equal size and reaches its maximum of 10,000 when a market is . - . controlled by a single firm. The HHI increases both as the number of firms in the market decreases and as the disparity in size between those firms increases. II JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. This complaint is filed and this action is instituted against the defendants under Section 15 of the Act of Congress of October 15, 1914 (15 u.s.c.

  • Melms V. Pabst Brewing Co
    MelMs v. Pabst brewing Co. the doctrine of waste in American Property law thomas w. Merrill* Melms v. Pabst Brewing Co., an 1899 decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, may WASTE IN AMERICAN PROPERTY LAW be the most important decision ever rendered by an American court concerning the law of waste. And while the doctrine of waste does not loom very large in public consciousness these days, it has held a peculiar fascination for property theorists, for it touches directly on an important line of division in how we think about property. Does property exist primarily to protect the subjective expectations that particular owners have in particular things? Or is the central function of property to maximize the value that society ascribes to particular things? To put it somewhat dramatically, but I think not inaccurately: Is property an individual right or a social institution? Melms involved a mansion on the south side of Milwaukee that was demolished in 1892 by Captain Frederick Pabst, the brewer of Pabst Brewing Company fame. Pabst owned the surrounding property, and thought that he owned the mansion, too. It turned out that Pabst did not own the mansion in fee simple. Rather, according to another decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court—handed down four years after the mansion was destroyed—he held it only for the life of an elderly widow named Marie Melms. After Marie’s death, the Melms children would have inherited the mansion, if it still stood. The children sued Pabst, claiming that he had committed waste by destroying the home that was rightfully theirs.
