The FDA is looking to clamp down on beer brewers with a proposal that would hold breweries to record keeping and food safety standards similar to those of livestock and pet food manufacturers.

Specifically, the FDA is concerned about the fact that many brewers sell their leftover grain as animal feed instead of throwing it in the trash. Brewing businesses are objecting to the proposal, saying that it will force them to throw away huge quantities of barley, wheat and other grains instead of putting it to good use by feeding it to livestock.

The FDA’s proposal would both harm the income of brewers and raise the price of livestock feed.

Same thing with gasoline. Government makes far more profit from a gallon of gasoline than the brewer. Same thing with cigarettes, too.
