Several Ohio breweries have filed a lawsuit challenging Mike DeWine after the governor vetoed legislation that would have allowed certain hemp-derived beverages to remain legal in the state.
Breweries say the veto could force businesses to destroy inventory, cut jobs, and even face potential criminal penalties for selling products that were previously permitted.
Bottom line: The legal fight could have major financial implications for breweries across Ohio, including several in the Cincinnati region.
