Beer battle brewing in Congress as craft producers seek tax break
A battle over beer is brewing on Capitol Hill.
And it's about ... what else? Taxes.
Driving the fight are small, independent craft brewers, who are growing in both size and popularity in the United States – so much, that beer giant Budweiser spent $9 million on a Super Bowl ad this year mocking the craft beer phenom. Now, the "pumpkin peach ale" producers have their own lobbyists and are enlisting home-district members of Congress to sponsor legislation cutting the excise tax on their sudsy creations.
