Senators Facey and Salomon, Missoula County supports HB 541 - Revise small brewery laws, being heard in Senate Business, Labor, and Economic Affairs tomorrow morning. The local brewing industry is a significant economic driver within Missoula County, with nearly 15 breweries across the County. Citing an August 2016 publication from the University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research, "Montana brewers continue to employ more people, increase payroll and make a greater number of purchases year over year. Furthermore, the share of expenditures to Montana businesses continues to increase, with a total of $19.8 million paid directly to Montana businesses." Increasing barrel production from 10,00 barrels to 60,000 barrels would provide additional revenues to these industries and would benefit the local economy. The BBER report further states, "brewing operations cause direct and indirect impacts through paying wages and salaries and by stimulating increased purchases between vendors. The value added to their products as the move through the supply chain from brewers to wholesalers and retailers further stimulates the economy. Finally, induced effects are generated by the new jobs and personal income gains attributable to brewer operations, leading to more goods and services being purchased from all kinds of businesses throughout the state." Please support HB 541.
