Unless a different construction Is
placed on the law by officials higher
up than la held by local revenue of
ficers, brewers will have to pay Uncle
Sam just ns much to make n non-alco
holic beer ns they |inld to make the
real article with jags concealed be
neath Its snowy foam.
Before the prohibition law caused
the breweries to stop making beer In
Georgia, It coat the brewers u- dollar
for every barrel of 32 gallons brewed,
of course the state and-municipality
get another rake-off, but this will be
saved with the non-alcoholic brand.
iThe law reads that these 'stamps,’
costing a dollar, each! miMt be placed
on every barrel of beer brewed, Therf
Is nothing In the. law, according to
Revenue Agent Janies IL Surber re
lating to the amount of alcohol con
tained In the beer.
"If a drink Is brewed from hop* and
malt." said Mr. Surlier, “a stamp must
be placed nn each barrel and fraction
of a barrel. There Is nothing In the
law- relating to the amount of alcohol
the beer shall or shall not contain. It
costs a dollar for every barrel of 32
gallons, and the quarters nnd eighths
cost,In proportion. The tax Is paid for
brewing and If the beer le brewed, and
brewed from hope or malt, the tax
must be •paid."
It Is said that the brewery In fiavan
nah Is putting out an article labeled
"Georgia home brew" which contains
less than one-half of one per cent of
alcohol. It Is said further that the
brewery la still putting stamps upon It.
It Is known that some brewers were
figuring on saving the large amount of
money paid the government each year
for stamps by making a non-alcoholic
drink, but this construction of the law
will prevent this.
