Delaware Proposes Raising Beer Tax
Update: Beer Tax Get’s Shot DOWN! Thanks for all who spoke up, your voices were heard!
Our buddy Fool Circle received a letter from the American Homebrewers Association regarding a possible increase in taxes on beer. Here is a snippet from the letter:
A proposal currently moving in the legislature would raise the state tax on beer almost 50%. The small brewers of Delaware are asking you TO CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR TODAY to ask him/her to oppose this unprecedented increase as an extremely harmful measure to the state’s small craft breweries.
At this point, this proposal has not been formally drafted as legislation, but will be amended into an existing bill and voted on Monday, June 30.
It’s a little late in addressing the issue, but any of our Delaware readers checking this out should try to contact our senator to let him know how you feel about this beer tax. Frankly, I think beer is expensive as it is and I don’t need to pay any more for it!
You’ll need to find which district you are in and contact the correct senator!
Thanks to Brain and to you for stopping this beer tax!

WHOO-HOO, Go on with yourself Ms. Minner! Make everything in Delaware unaffordable to its residents! First it was the cigarettes, now beer (granted these things are not the best for us but, you cant save the whole state)… Whats next, after the state needs more money? Clothing, food… Im sure you will find a way to tax them, too. Tax free state? yeah right. Didnt we have a surplus of money in this state before she governed Delaware? Correct me if Im wrong!
