Small Brewers Caucus member Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) recently stopped by the Short’s Brewing Company production facility.

As a small business advocate, Senator Peters is a co-sponsor of bipartisan legislation that aims to reduce excise taxes for small craft breweries in Michigan and across the country—the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act.

“Craft breweries like Short’s are helping to strengthen Michigan’s economy by creating jobs and stimulating tourism, and I’m proud to help support our state’s growing craft beverage industry,” said Senator Peters during his tour of the facility. “By cutting excise taxes and reducing burdensome paperwork, small producers will see great cash flow and increased opportunities to innovate, expand and grow as Short’s Brewing Company is doing.”
