Glunz Beer sent to Micro Man, via certified mail, a Notice of Deficiencies which specifically three failures: (1) Micro Man’s failure to provide sales coverage through Florida, (2) Micro Man’s failure to sell Stiegl beer to Publix, and (3) Micro Man’s failure to pay Glunz Beer’s invoices timely. In December 2012, Glunz Beer initiated the termination of Micro Man’s franchise following the procedure laid out in Florida’s Beer Franchise Law. Glunz Beer Provides Notice of Termination Glunz Beer offered to buy back Micro Man’s franchise for part or all of Florida, which Micro Man also refused. Glunz Beer also asked Micro Man to distribute Stiegl beer to Publix, Florida’s largest grocery store chain, which Micro Man refused. Micro Man refused Glunz Beer’s request to prioritize distribution in the Florida Keys. Soon after acquiring the Stiegl contract, Glunz Beer learned that Micro Man did not have the ability to distribute beer in the Florida Panhandle or the Florida Keys. Glunz Beer and Micro Man did not have a written contract. The prior importer had given Micro Man the exclusive franchise to distribute Stiegl beer in all of Florida, and Glunz Beer continued to use Micro Man as its distributor in Florida.

In disputes between a supplier and its distributor, the Franchise Law describes the rights of both parties. The Franchise Law is a long, complicated statute that requires each beer supplier to grant a Florida distributor the exclusive right (called a “franchise”) to distribute the supplier’s beer in the all or part of the state. At the heart of the relationship between suppliers and distributors is Florida’s Beer Franchise Law, Florida Statutes Section 563.022.

The new shop should improve the condition of the beer as well provide a more enjoyable beer shopping experience. If you have ever shopped at Beverage Castle you know it is a drive thru and can be a very crappy environment for beer shopping. The new store will be decorated in a cave motiff and feature vintage cellars for aged beers as well as better storage for all the beer.

Hoppers was supposed to be reincarnated as Franz's this fall, but so far nothing has happened.
