Brewers Association releases ‘transparency in labeling’ position statement
The BA supports transparency in labeling so that consumers can make informed choices when purchasing beer. Consumers have an interest in knowing the name of the brewing company or parent corporation that ultimately owns the beer brand. The BA therefore encourages all brewers to disclose to consumers their ownership of beer brands, including the name of the parent brewery that owns the brand, on the brand’s labeling to enable consumers to make informed buying choices.
What’s missing from this? Location and name of plant manufacturing the product.

They should also disclose how many billionaires run each brewery…and how many breweries make something called “Twisted Tea.”
Interestingly enough, the Angry Orchard and Twisted Tea labels say they’re made by The Angry Orchard Hard Cider Company & Twisted Tea Brewing Company. No mention of The Boston Beer Company on either label.
