Should we follow the UK and reduce tax on kegs of beer?
The Brewers Association of New Zealand is lobbying the government to reduce the excise tax on kegs by 50 percent to support the hospitality sector.
The UK have announced another year of a freeze on all excise tax for alcohol, and despite the fact we drunk more last year, sales of beer actually went down by 1.7 percent.
Dylan Firth is the executive director of the Brewers Association of New Zealand. He joined Mike Hosking to talk about the tax.
