About NRBC Compliance Brief
From the publisher's feed
The NRBC Compliance Brief is a daily two-minute audio briefing on U.S. alcohol and hemp/THC regulation, covering federal agencies and all 50 states: TTB rulings and rulemaking, state alcohol authority actions, the federal hemp-ban timeline, THC-beverage rules, court decisions, taxes, tariffs, licensing, and enforcement. A new episode arrives every morning around 7 AM Eastern.
Produced by the compliance desk at New Realm Brewing Co. and narrated with AI assistance under the direction of CFO Jeremy Barnes. Strictly factual and neutral: what passed, what was signed, what a court held, and the dates that matter — with every position attributed to the person or group who took it. For general information only — not legal advice.
