Tax talk always gets us giddy, so we love to get all freaky and financial when the Beer Institute publishes its unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid shipments by beer brewers. The June 2016 domestic tax paid estimate is 16,607,000 barrels. June 2015 removals were 16,637,000 (revised) for a decrease of 0.2 percent. Here’s the rest, you numbers-loving nerds.
