This rule reflects the policy and intent of the commission to
				maintain effective control over the sale and distribution of beer, an alcoholic
				beverage, and to prevent abuses caused by the disorderly and unregulated sale
				of beer. Mandatory price markups: prevent aggressive sales practices that
				improperly stimulate purchase and consumption, thereby endangering the state's
				efforts to promote responsible, and discourage intemperate, consumption of
				alcoholic beverages; eliminate discriminatory sales practices that threaten the
				survival of wholesale distributors and retail permit holders; preserve orderly
				competition; ensure fair prices over the long term; assure adequate consumer
				choice; and promote compliance with Ohio law and rule.
(A) This rule shall apply to all retail sales
			 of beer, not for consumption on the premises where sold and in sealed
			 containers, by A-1, A-1A, B-1, C-1, C-2X, D-1, D-2X or D-5 permit
			 holders.
(B) The minimum retail
			 selling price of beer, whether by the bottle, can, case, or keg, shall be
			 determined in the following manner:

			 minimum retail selling price for retail sales made by a manufacturer shall be
			 computed by adding a minimum markup of not less than twenty-five percent to the
			 wholesale invoice price for sales by the manufacturer to retail permit holders
			 for the same product and brand in the same size container.
(2) The minimum retail selling price for
			 retail sales made by a wholesale distributor shall be computed by adding a
			 minimum markup of not less than twenty-five percent to the wholesale invoice
			 price for sales by the wholesale distributor to retail permit holders for the
			 same product and brand in the same size container.
(3) The minimum retail selling price for
			 retail sales made by a retail permit holder shall be computed by adding a
			 minimum markup of not less than twenty-five percent to the wholesale invoice
			 price to them for that product and brand in the same size container,
(4) Deposit charges for the bottle, can,
			 case, or keg shall not be included as part of the cost or included in any
			 computation for determining the minimum retail selling price with respect to
			 any class of liquor permit holders.
(5) The minimum retail selling price of beer
			 packaged by the manufacturer to be sold as an individual sealed container shall
			 be computed, to the nearest cent, by dividing the number of individual sealed
			 containers in an original shipping carton or case into the minimum retail
			 selling price, as computed herein, for that shipping carton or case.

(A)
			 Manufacturers and all other suppliers who sell beer to wholesale distributors

			 any package by any other permit holder.

			 Ohio wholesalers may differentiate in the price of beer sold to Ohio
			 wholesalers except when such price differentials are based on reasonable
			 business grounds. A differential price may not be based on a wholesaler's
			 refusal to participate in a price promotion. No manufactuer or supplier of beer
			 may require an Ohio wholesaler to participate in any price promotion.
