  "textContent": "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.\n\nThe article The States That Tax Beer the Most (2026) appeared first on VinePair.",
