With the tax deadline next month, it is a good time to take a gander at this state-by-state comparison of beer taxes.
The Tax Foundation describes itself as a “non-partisan, non-profit research organization that has monitored tax policy at the federal, state and local levels since 1937.”
And no matter what your political view on taxes and government, as craft beer fans we need to be in the loop on how this affects the cost of running a brewery and how it ends up costing us.
And just from a quick scan of the numbers, Oregon and Colorado are really at the low end at 8cents each and not surprisingly have big craft consumption and brewery numbers.
