Brewers Pay Record Beer Taxes in 1939 Reveals $411 Million
The United Brewers Industrial Foundation reports that 1939 beer taxes collected across Federal state and local agencies totaled $411,596,780. Of this, $267,642,983 went to the Federal government and the rest to general expense funds. The survey notes a shift to packaged beer, near parity with draught, and extensive cooperation with local law enforcement to curb anti social beer sales. It also cites massive barley and grain use and a total beer revenue to the government of about $1.63 billion since 1933 legalization.
