Notice No. 131: Small Brewers Bond Reduction

View Comment

Hello and good day. I am pleased to see legislation up for consideration to lessen the paperwork burden on small breweries. Here at Bullfrog Brewery we are somewhere in the neighborhood of 700-750 bbls produced annually. The amount of time necessary to piece together the necessary info, sign and copy the documents, and write the check and mail the forms, usually takes up the brunt of the day for our brewer. I estimate that savings in the bottom line would approach $1000.00 annually if we were relieved of this process. The other side of that coin is that this time could be used to be more productive and more beer could be produced as a result. Thank you for your time and consideration.
