A Bill in the Oregon House proposes to raise the state Beer Tax by about 2000% House Bill 24-61 would raise the tax of a barrel of beer produced by state breweries from the current $2.50 to $52.00.  Deschutes Brewery President Gary Fish says the Bill is nothing less than punitive and egregious.  If passed, the price of a keg would increase by more than $40.00 and a six-pack would go up about $2.00.
