House Finance Committee Passage of House Bill 2038



“We thank Chairman Reuven Carlyle and the members of the House Finance Committee for listening to our concerns and protecting Washington craft beer.  The proposal to double the tax rate on craft beer would have caused great harm to our industry and our customers.  We are grateful to the committee for standing up for Washington jobs, Washington businesses, and Washington beer, and we look forward to final passage of the House revenue package, that allows the tax on beer to expire.
