Possible Tax Break In Store For Small Breweries

 A new bill introduced by The House of Representatives this week offers brewers who produce 6 million or fewer barrels a year would pay $3.50 per barrel on their first 60,000 barrels, $16 for each barrel between 60,001 and 2 million, and $18 for every barrel thereafter. 

 The current federal law states that brewers who produce fewer than 2 million barrels of beer per year pay tax of $7 a barrel on their first 60,000 barrels and $18 a barrel on every barrel thereafter.
