Proposed Utah bill would up excise tax reduction threshold for small breweries
SB248, sponsored by Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, raises the thresholds to 100,000 barrels of beer, 60,000 gallons of spirits and 40,000 gallons of wine. Greg Schirf, president of Wasatch Brewery, said the change will let his operation compete with the conglomerates that have lower production costs.
