During Prohibition the term “scofflaw” was coined to refer to someone who disregarded or flouted the law. Today, although the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages is no longer prohibited, it is still heavily regulated. Some retailers have scoffed, intentionally or unintentionally, at these regulations by buying hard-to-find premium craft beers such as Pliny the Elder (Russian River Brewing) directly from brewery tap rooms and brewpubs and then re-selling them at inflated prices. This practice was described in a recent article by Kate Bernot in DRAFT magazine, “In Search of Craft Beer’s Most Wanted.”
