Indiana Beer News – March 11

On Wed, March 16th, this spring’s Upland Blackberry & Cherry Lambics will be available. Well, at least you can put in your reservation for one bottle of each starting at noon. $20 each. Go to their web site at that time to find the link. Pick-up will be March 29th through April 12th at the brewery or at the Indianapolis Tasting Room.

The Feds are on our side? “Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) today introduced legislation to reduce the beer excise tax for America’s small brewers. … Currently, a small brewer that produces less than two million barrels of beer per year is eligible to pay $7.00 per barrel on the first 60,000 barrels produced each year. This legislation will reduce this rate to $3.50 per barrel, giving our nation’s smallest brewers approximately $19.9 million per year to expand and generate jobs. This change helps approximately 1,525 breweries nationwide.” If you’re bigger than 60,000 bbls (non in Indiana are) the excise tax is $18 per bbl and this bill will lower that to $16 per bbl.

beerpaintings.blogspot.com is two artistic folk who do oil painting of craft beer. They do commissions. These are paintings, not photos. OK, they are photos of paintings.
