Small Brewers Excise Tax Legislation

There's some legislation right now, the Small Brewers Excise Tax Bills in U.S. Senate and House, that can affect anyone who brews commercially or enjoys beer from our great local breweries.

If it goes through, the new regulations could cut the excise tax paid by small breweries (all our favorite local breweries) by 50%. This could mean our local breweries will pay less in taxes and can use the saved money to invest in expansion, buy new equipment, hire more people, and produce more beer!

Sadly, there's not much support coming from our representatives in Arizona. If you want to help out, contact the offices of your representatives and voice your support for the bill.
