Looks kind of like our recycling pile.

Ok, we’re a little late here, so maybe don’t drop anything too important, but the Beer Institute published an unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid shipments by beer brewers for February 2019 (fairly recently). The February 2019 estimate is 11,198,000 bbls, a decrease of 0.4 percent vs. February 2018 removals of 11,244,618. Please note that the estimates reflect revised estimates released by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).
