Ohio has a three tier system regarding the manufacture, supply, distribution, and sale at retail of beer, wine, and mixed beverage products. Any beer, wine, or mixed beverage product must be registered for sale by the Division pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 4301.10. At the first tier, manufacturers or suppliers of registered products are required, pursuant to Ohio’s franchise and liquor laws, to have written agreements that make a licensed distributor (second tier) the sole provider of that product in Ohio. Ohio retail permit holders (third tier) are then required to purchase such products only from the distributor that has a contract to handle the approved product in that exclusive territory. Ohio retail permit holders may then sell to the Ohio adult consumer.
