The world of law is vast and diverse with numerous specialized areas that require deep expertise. One such area is alcohol beverage law, which encompasses the legal regulations and complexities surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.  Not only are the laws different in every state, but there are laws that interact (and sometimes conflict) at the Federal level within the TTB.  The Tipton Law Firm is excited to announce renowned Colorado liquor attorney, Cory Tipton, has been asked to teach alcohol beverage law at Metropolitan State University in the Hospitality and Brewing Operations program.  This unique opportunity combines Ms. Tipton’s legal expertise with her affinity for teaching, allowing students to gain invaluable insights into this dynamic and evolving legal domain.
