Notice No. 131: Small Brewers Bond Reduction

View Comment

I'm currently working towards opening up a nano-brewery. I feel like small breweries like the one I'm interested in opening deserve to be charged smaller fees appropriate to this economy. I think that if the TTB could lessen the burden of the amount of theses fees for small nano-breweries it would support sustainable success of the start up ventures. Nano-breweries support communities in many ways, such as creating jobs and creating culture and community that are so important to towns and the people who live there. I would be in full support of reducing the small brewers bond and appreciate measures that the TTB could take to help ensure that nano-breweries can get upstarted and succeed.
