Washington State proposes new beer tax

The State of Washington is proposing to extend permanently a currently temporary tax on breweries in the state. This tax is called the "$.50 cent a barrel tax" and was put in place in 2010 as part of a measure to increase revenue in the state during the economic downturn.

The current tax exempts breweries making less than 60,000 barrels a year in beer. The new proposal is to remove the 60,000 barrel exemption opening up the tax to all breweries in the state.
