TackingAg said:So if we look hard for a silver lining, could this mean that the price of beer will drop? Understanding that it was taxed due to a larger volume/weight, would this mean that I don't have to pay $38/case for bud light at Riteway Pasea compared to the $18 I would pay at home? (I drink Carib when on charter, but I'm using an apples to apples comparison). Dare to dream and look for the positive.  Nope Caribbean Cellars General Manager Robert Knock said he expects the typical case of beer will increase by about $2 per case — beer is currently taxed at $1.10 per gallon, but will be taxed at the 25 percent rate starting June 1.
