#1 the tax decrease is from $18/barrel to $16/barrel so about $2/barrel which comes to about a penny per 16 ounce glass of beer - and that decrease is only on the first 100k barrels

the measure was designed to help craft beer manufacturers (although big producers get the decrease also)

#4 When the Dims raised taxes on alcoholic beverages in 2014 they did so in a manner that made the accounting process to determine taxes owed by restaurants, bars, etc far too complicated. Point of Sale systems had to altered to compensate for the changes. It was a nightmare for the hospitality industry.

#6 If a penny a glass cheaper leaves you with noticeably more money to spend on more beer, you were already drinking too much.
