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.

UK Energy Secretary Urges Pubs to Serve Warmer Beer to Fight Rising Electricity Costs
Across the pond, the UK secretary of state for energy security and net zero, Ed Miliband, has launched a government-funded tool aimed at reducing energy costs for hospitality businesses. The application’s advice? Pub owners should disable refrigerators overnight and monitor ovens. Registration for the energy and carbon reduction tool opened today, sparking a wave of backlash from business owners across the UK. “To be told to turn the lights off overnight really is groundbreaking stuff,” pub owner Andy Lennox sarcastically tells The Telegraph.
