Proposed legislation creates bad buzz for CT craft brew industry

HARTFORD — Joe Ploof, chief revenue officer and founder of Hanging Hills Brewing Co., said if the legislation proposed by Rep. Brandon McGee and Sen. Doug McCrory passes, he will have to lay off five of his six employees. That’s because the two separate bills would force him to choose between closing his tap room or ending distribution of his craft brews. “If we end distribution, then it means the consumer has to come to me,” Ploof said. He said he did $1.1 million in sales last year, including $400,000 at his Ledyard Street tap room.
