Brewers face tax cut debate as Secretary Gage opposes relief
Secretary Gage rejects brewers demand for half tax relief arguing beer is a luxury and the industry should not expect a large rebate. He notes beer contains a gallon and a half of alcohol, with alcohol taxed at $1 per gallon, making a $15 cent per barrel tax if taxed only on alcohol. He questions grounds for a $1 per barrel or greater reduction.
