Join Pillsbury consultant Chris Thiemann at the 2026 DISCUS Conference as he joins the panel discussion “From Package to Pour: The Policies Reshaping Spirits.” This session will provide a practical overview of the most significant policy developments—from changes at the federal level to a growing number of states passing Extended Producer Responsibility laws and beyond—and how it affects the spirits industry today. This covers everything from what goes into the bottle to the packaging itself and how it is labeled. Attendees will gain insight into what’s changing, what’s coming next and where businesses should focus their attention. Learn how policy issues carry real operational, financial and reputational implications whether you’re a large supplier, an emerging brand or a trade partner.
