PORTSMOUTH A permanent reduction in the federal excise tax on craft beer production means less money for the U.S. government and more money for local brewers as they climb out of the economic dregs of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This relief allows us to thrive as opposed to creating a situation especially in times like these when everybody is hurting where your margins get dwindled down to nothing,” said Dagan Migirditch, co-founder of Liars Bench Beer and Bodega on Islington Street in Portsmouth’s West End. “It’s definitely a huge step in the right direction.”
The excise tax in question applies to small craft brewers who produce fewer than 2,500 barrels of beer per year. The tax, paid quarterly, had been $7 and was cut in half to $3.50 during the belt-tightening of the pandemic to reduce expenses for small craft brewers, who like others in the hospitality industry have been hard hit by health and safety protocols.
Enjoy 10 Cent Beers in Portsmouth, NH, for Ralph Rosa Day
I can confidently say I have never enjoyed a beer for just ten cents. When I was in college we used to go to a bar on Wednesdays that offered dollar beers and we thought THAT was the sweetest deal in town. But that was BEFORE I learned about Ralph Rosa Day.
The Rosa Restaurant opened on 70 State Street in December of 1927, making it the oldest running restaurant in the Portsmouth community. Portsmouth was a dry town back in those days and it wasn t until 1933, when prohibition was repealed, that Ralph Rosa was allowed to serve a nice cold one to the hard working folks of the Seacoast. According to the Rosa Restaurant s website, not only was Ralph one of the founding fathers of the Seacoast restaurant community and he also had the honor of pouring the first beer in the state. At that time a beer only cost 10 cents.
