Senator Chuck Shumer recently visited Cooperstown Brewery in Milford, New York to talk tax cuts. A lot of politicians are starting to see the benefit of stimulating the small brewing business.
The proposal would cut the excise tax in half, from $7 to $3.50 for the first 60,000 barrels. That equates to 210,000 in savings, potentially creating a new job at the brewery. Cooperstown only employes 5 full timers, and 2 part time individuals. [NewsChannel34]

There are 750 Solyndra panels, each rated at 210 watts. Taking advantage of Georgia and federal incentives, the new array will pay for itself in 3 years. The panels reduce the need for over 300,000 lbs of CO2, 19,000 gallons of gas, 176,000 lbs of coal per year (and who knows how many hamsters.) [SolarEnergy]
Mother’s Brewing (Springfield, MO) has a Foggy Notion – a new barleywine. The brewery was founded in 2010, and currently has 7 beers in their young lineup. Foggy is related to another beer, PG-13 Mother’s released this week.
PG-13 resembles its originator, Foggy Notion (Barley Wine Style Ale), in that it was made from the same mash using an old brewing technique called, parti-gyle. PG-13 also uses the same hop varieties as used in Foggy Notion.
Style: Barleywine

It’s almost college football season. That means long Saturdays of all day drinking. If you are going to game this year, there might be a chance that you can actually buy beer INSIDE the stadium, instead of sneaking it in ala drug mule style.
More colleges are either selling beer at the game or considering selling it. West Virginia announced in June that they will be serving beer this fall. LSU not only is selling it, but they will be brewing their own with Tin Roof Brewing and teaching classes on the industry on site. University of Northern Iowa is very seriously considering beer sales.
If you think about it, it literally (and figuatively) is an untapped market. The athletic director at Northern Iowa estimates in upwards of $1 million dollars in revenue from beer, going straight to support not only the athletic program, but the school. I could stave off the need to raise tuition for a few more semesters. Fear not the red tape, as the NCAA has no rule against the sale of beer at football games. The only rule is against advertising at championships/bowl games.
The beer is already at the games. Why not capitalize on it? [ShreveportTimes]
