May the wholesaler pay the draft services company to correct the problem?
A. A wholesaler may instruct a retailer in the normal use and care of draft equipment. Nothing forbids a wholesaler from hiring a third party to perform this legal service. It is illegal for a wholesaler, or a firm employed by a wholesaler, to perform or recommend repairs, redesign, or other service of a non-routine nature. A wholesaler may use a consultant to determine whether a problem is the fault of his tapping equipment, however he may not pay for a consultant to check the rest of a retailer’s draft system. • Q. What should I do when a retailer demands a draft system or other illegal services for a tap line? • Q. Is it reasonable to suspect that another wholesaler has paid for a tap when you have refused and his beer is put on? • Q. What do you do in that case? A. Any time you are “pressured” to pay for a tap, you should report the incident to the commission, including the name of the licensee and the person doing the pressuring. This might not be applicable to a retailer just ask
