The American beer industry is voicing its support for bipartisan legislation introduced this month that would comprehensively reform the federal beer tax currently imposed on brewers and beer importers.
According to the Beer Institute, the national trade association for the American brewing industry, the bill would “remove barriers to growth in the industry, encouraging capital and workforce investment through simple, fair and broad reform.” If passed, the bill will create a graduated federal excise tax structure while maintaining a level playing field.
