Recently, the Beer Institute published an unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid shipments by beer brewers for June 2020. The June 2020 estimate is 16,600,000 bbls, an increase of 4.4 percent vs. June 2019 removals of 15,901,000 bbls. The Beer Institute estimates for March 2020, April 2020, May 2020 and June 2020 are expecting significant revisions as TTB Industry Circular 2020-2 has postponed reporting requirements for filing and payment due dates for up to 90 days.
