Holy shiitake. I mean, you saw that headline and were like, what? Beer Institute and taxes? Hell yeah I’m clicking that headline. I respect and also fear that choice, so you’ve earned what you’ve come for. God help your poor soul.
Ahem, recently, the Beer Institute published an unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid shipments by beer brewers for September 2019. The September 2019 estimate is 14,386,000 bbls, an increase of 1.6 percent vs. September 2018 removals of 14,153,515. Please note that the estimates reflect revised estimates released by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). Good day!
