More beer

I've got an update on
the single most important issue in history:
It appears the bill has been amended so the increase on brewers is now
from $4.60 to $7.40. While this is better than the 815% increase
originally proposed, it still represents a tax increase of 61%. Why is
the increase on excise tax instead of alcohol sales tax?
It's a step in the right direction. I still don't see this legislation going anywhere in the House, let alone getting Pawlenty's signature. If it does pass, I'll be sure to let you know when then to start stocking up.
