It’s the Monday after Thanksgiving break, so here’s a super interesting post about October 2019 domestic tax paid estimates

What? You don’t like tax talk first thing in the morning? Sorry. I find that after an extended break from work that is focused on food and drink, I like to do the easiest thing possible that first day back. Today that’s posting this obnoxiously boring info released by the Beer Institute — an unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid shipments by beer brewers for October 2019.

The October 2019 estimate is 13,110,000 bbls, a decrease of 4.3 percent vs. October 2018 removals of 13,692,976. Please note that the estimates reflect revised estimates released by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). Now, back to bed.
