ACTION NEEDED!

They are coming for your beer! The Federal government is proposing new tax increases on beer, wine, liquor and soda.

See story here

Please join us in writing our representatives in D.C. and telling them enough is enough, beer is already taxed too much!

Who to contact

This is serious. If enacted, expect to see many of your favorite local breweries going out of business. The proposal now is for a 3x excise increase in taxation on beer, which is already high. The stronger the beer (over 4.5%), the higher the tax! Those big beers might be taxed into extinction.
