Although I'm not a fan of any government subsidies, I might understand the efficacy of tax breaks for a new sort of industry. But it cannot continue forever.

Craft beer was "new" some years ago. It has taken off in a big way. They seem to be everywhere now. They are trendy. They are hip. They are part of our culture. Magazines are devoted to the topic.

If the industry cannot survive now without government assistance, then it just deserves to die.

“ If the industry cannot survive now without government assistance, then it just deserves to die. ”

It’s not “government assistance”. It’s reduced government burden. All FReepers should support that.

The government didn’t give them anything, they just lowered the amount they were taking from them. Cutting taxes is not a subsidy so we need to quit using the language of the left.

As far as I’m concerned they should roll out these tax cuts to the major breweries.
