Nice. I've got six brewpubs along my usual bike routes, plus another 2-3 with a slight detour. But now I also have my own brew. The IPA comes out of carbonation on Wednesday and another Pale Ale went into the fermenter on Thursday. ... And since when is a bottle deposit a tax? You get the money back. In California since almost forever. They weigh the stuff unless you have a small quantity. When you count the money versus the "refund value" you quickly discover that you get back less than paid in CRV. To the point where we don't do it anymore and recycle via the recycling bin where you get zero back. Some of it is, therefore, a tax. ...
