re: Obamacare is Coming After Your Craft Beer

You really can't. Do you understand what margins are? DO you understand the already high amount of regulations the craft beer industry must undertake? Of course you don't, you're an idiot.
California alone is about to see a mass exodus of craft breweries due to their overregulations. The $15/hr minimum wage mandate is going to kill small startups that try to grow big, now you are going to stifle them more with this petty shite?

I don't see anything wrong with posting calorie amounts. Can only help with decisions with what to drink.
Then google the fricking beer, sally, and go to the breweries website. Most breweries have this information already. But instead, you want pappa government to make others tell you the calories of the beer? Liberals are the absolute lowest forms of life.

I don't see a problem with including nutrition facts on a label.

Hooters, for one, sells the local craft brew here in Florida.

Not true at all. There's plenty of restaurants and beer bars with a couple dozen locations that seek out small/new local breweries to put on tap. This would be yet another barrier to entry to pad the market for the big guys. A requirement like this is a good idea, but should be based on bbl per year brewed not where it's served.

Again, I am not for legislating it. Read my damn post
I just don't see it as a bad idea to have the calories labeled on the beer. What does it hurt?
Also, I am far from liberal but go ahead with your name calling.

I am all for piling on Obama; but I have one question. While I don't care about the calorie count, is it hard for breweries to determine this info? I honestly don't know

Do you assume foods are healthy if they don't have a label?

You also aren't a startup brewery facing about 30 governmental regulation hurdles to start with either. Not only is Beer treated differently than other alcoholic beverages with distribution, taxation, etc... now you are going to throw this bullshite on them? And why?
Just start drinking Mich ultra if you are that concerned with it. Craft beer in general, is roughly 160 - 300 calories. You don't drink it for health benefits. You drink it because its delicious, its made local and supports a local business.
But let's legislate every fricking thing under the sun because "you dont' see a problem".

This. My favorite breweries cater to local restaurants that aren't chains. If anything this will encourage more gastropubs because they won't have to adhere to these label restrictions.
Eta- this will hurt chain restaurants more than local ones because ultimately the trend has been that people want craft beer. If a chain restaurant doesn't have it, they might go elsewhere.

Then those craft breweries can likely afford it. Those breweries are getting beyond nano, micro, etc. The small ones generally cater to local restaurants. If they're outgrowing that, distributing and such, then they'll be able to afford it.

Well obviously, the brewery. At a tune starting at about $80k.

Afford the $77k penalty or afford posting the nutritional info?
Posted on 6/3/16 at 10:40 am to CapstoneGrad06
Yeah dude, if you're a craft brewer seeking to a local hooters and you have you tell in the door there, you're probably on the level of a Great Raft or Tin Toof. You're telling me they can't afford $77k. bullshite.

This seems to stem from an older law.
That said, I don't really care for calorie information on my beer. If I'm drinking craft beer then I'm doing it for flavor not for "nutritional" purposes. Hell, I've made a stout before that had 300 calories per pint.

Being mandated to include the health info is just fine by you because someone may mistake beer for health drinks?
