Cheers, Mr. Senator
Mother’s Brewing Co. owner Jeff Schrag last month shakes Sen. Roy Blunt’s hand during a visit to Washington, D.C., honoring him as the lead Republican sponsor of the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act. For his support of the legislation that adjusts the federal excise tax for breweries, the Brewers Association awarded Blunt its Legislative Champion Award.
