The States That Tax Beer the Most (2026)
In the U.S., taxes account for a higher percentage of the cost of beer than ingredients, labor, and other materials combined. It’s a result of levies collected by several parties. A federal excise tax ranges from $0.11 to $0.58 per gallon of fermented malt beverages based on production, quantity and brewery location. Each state and Washington D.C. also imposes individual excise taxes on beer, and, from there, municipal-level levies and retail sales taxes drive the price up.

The Glendronach Releases Limited-Edition 56-Year-Old Whisky to Commemorate Bicentennial
The Glendronach is debuting a 56-year-old Scotch whisky, the brand’s oldest expression yet, to celebrate the insider distillery’s bicentennial anniversary. With just 12 bottles allocated to the U.S. market and only 200 available worldwide, the brand is tailoring the ultrapremium release toward collectors and connoisseurs, as demonstrated by the suggested retail price of $49,000, according to a press release announcing the rollout. The 56-year age statement is more than a random choice: The Glendronach distilled the whisky in 1968, a year that produced a vintage known among devotees as the “Holy Grail” for the producer, the announcement says.

‘Catastrophic’: U.S. Exports Drop by $357 Million After Canada’s Wine Ban
Canada’s multiple-province ban on American products caused a $357 million deficit for the U.S. wine industry. The prohibition, which started after President Trump enacted his controversial, far-reaching tariffs, prompted the value of U.S. wine exports to Canada to plummet from $460 million in 2024 to $103 million in 2025, according to a new report from Wine Institute. The shift marks a 78 percent drop in U.S. wine exports to Canada, according to the report, which summarized data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The ban also accounts for 81 percent of all losses for global U.S. wine exports last year.
