| Abstract: | There is disagreement in the industry about whether transshipping keeps beer-prices down. Home distributor Nazario said it benefits consumers. And in court, the attorney general's office offered some evidence that beer was cheaper in markets where transshipping occurred. In early 1992, the sale price of a case of Bud in Buffalo, where little transshipped beer came to rest, was USD 2 more than the best price available in the Bronx, where transshipping flourishes. And some Anheuser-Busch wholesalers, who were selling as much as one-third of their beer around the state, saw advantages. Peter John Enzien, president of John J. Boland Distributors, Troy, New York, informed the company in 1982 that Boland signed the agreement that created exclusive territories under "compulsion and protest." |
