You know the government will never pass up a chance to tax us. There is a so-called “sin tax” on beer. So when you stop and pick up the pack of beer you are paying a hidden alcohol tax and most likely sales tax.
I thought you might want to see what your state beer tax is. The link below will show you the excise tax rates of beer sales for off-premises consumption, as of January 1, 2011.
