I. Executive Summary
Economic impact analyses of the U.S. Beer industry
have been performed at both the national and state
levels for several decades. Previous studies that focused exclusively on the distributor tier, however, have
been limited to just a few states, and most of these
studies have focused almost entirely on the economic
impacts of the operations of the distributors – their
purchases of materials and services to support their
operations and the spending of employees and the
resulting multiplier effects.
This report, produced for the National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA), quantifies the magnitudes of
different kinds of beer distributor activities (direct operations, capital investment activities and community
involvement activities) and calculate their economic
impacts. The findings for the United States include:
(1) Beer distributors directly employ approximately 130,000 full-time equivalent persons
in their operations. When the distributors’
capital investment and community involvement activities are added and their interplay
with other sectors of the economy (multiplier effects) are taken into account, beer
distributors generate more than 345,000
jobs across the United States.
(2) Beer distributors add $54 billion to the
national total value of production (gross
domestic product).
(3) For jobs, wages and salaries and the total
value of production, the multiplier effects
– including the contributions from capital
investment, community involvement and
interstate effects – are 2.7, 2.1 and 2.5. These
multipliers are appropriately larger than
1
2
those found in other studies because of the
quantitative importance of the expanded
impacts. The multipliers show how direct
beer distributor activities result in total
effects on their communities that are far
larger.
(4) Beer distributor activity generates federal,
state and local taxes totaling approximately
$10.3 billion. This sum can be used for various government functions. For example, it
is sufficient to fund nearly 400 million hours
of public school teacher instruction or to
provide maintenance of nearly 400,000
miles of highways in the U.S. each year.1
This figure does not include an additional
$11 billion in federal, state and local excise
and consumption taxes on beer sold in the
United States.
(5) Beer distribution is intimately tied to the
fabric of the American economy, evidenced
by the multiplier processes that connect
beer distribution to the other parts of the
economy. Personal services sectors are
most impacted by beer distribution. Beer
distribution also significantly impacts food
services and drinking places, real estate,
credit cards, pension funds and retail stores.
(6) The existence of the distributor tier in the
beer industry produces significant efficiencies for suppliers (brewers and importers),
retailers and the economy by reducing
the costs of transporting beer, servicing
retailers and providing consumers with a
wider range of choices than they would
otherwise enjoy. This report follows solid
Teacher hours calculated at $27.50/hour and highway miles at $26,667.00/mile.
NBWA Report 2013 | Produced by the Center for Applied Business & Economic Research, Alfred Lerner College of Business & Economics, University of Delaware
academic research findings in quantifying
the total magnitude of these efficiencies.
The transportation efficiencies that enhance consumer choice save the American
economy approximately $22 billion per
year. These efficiencies generated by beer
distributors amount to more than $42,000
per year per retailer on average, or $116
per day every day of the year per retailer.
Another way of viewing the $22 billion is
in terms of social goods that can be provided to the U.S. by the efficiency gains.
For example, more than 800 million public
school teaching hours per year could be
supported, or more than 825,000 miles of
public highways could be maintained. Beer
distributors also contribute to the economy
through their role in reducing the cost of
collection of taxes and providing easier
enforcement of alcohol regulations. In this
role, distributors act like quasi-government
agencies that do not require public funds.
(7) Beer distributors are good citizens in their
communities across the U.S. They support
numerous community events, a wide array
of charitable activities and many activities
promoting local economic development.
In addition, they play a role in efforts to
eliminate drunk driving, alcohol abuse and
underage drinking through alcohol awareness, server training and education initiatives in schools and the media.
Beer distributors’ economic impacts discussed for the
United States as a whole, and for individual states, in
the preceding paragraphs originate at the level of
individual beer distributors in every state. The U.S.
total discussed above is the sum of these state-level
impacts because distributors’ impacts extend beyond
their own states’ borders; this report quantifies this
effect.

II. Methodology
For this report, the National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) requested a broader and deeper
examination of the role and value of beer distributors
in the United States, highlighting the significance of
this middle distribution tier (which operates within a
three-tier system, where distributors source beer from
brewers or importers and sell to licensed retailers).
This report expands the usual economic impact analysis in five important ways2:
(1) This report measures the volume of distributors’ capital investment activities including
structures, vehicles, software, energy-saving
technology and other equipment such
as the substantial amounts of refrigeration equipment required for a perishable
commodity like beer. The study adds the
impacts of investments in all these areas to
the usual impact of distributor operations;
(2) This report recognizes that distributors’
impacts extend beyond their own states’
borders; quantifies these effects; and adds
them to the usual isolated-state economic
impacts. Simply adding the usual state-level
impacts, which do not recognize the interstate effects, fails to account for a sizable
portion of the economic contributions of
beer distributors.
(3) This report accounts for economic efficiencies generated by distributors and compares that with a hypothetical beer distribution system lacking distributors.
(4) This report accounts for increased economic efficiencies that distributors provide
to brewers and retailers by helping deliver
a wide range of brands and labels, helping brewers access markets and retailers
provide vast consumer choice;
(5) This report measures the value distributors add in their local communities from
supporting community events and local
economic development to contributing to
charitable causes and promoting responsible alcohol use. This report adds the impacts of these activities to the usual impacts
of distributor operations.
This report concentrates on the economic impacts of beer distributors and their impact on the economy. As alcohol is not a product where the
greatest output or lowest price is necessarily sought, this report does not address the issues of public health impact and related costs of alcohol. For example, see: http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/alcohol-use.htm

III. Economic Impacts of Beer
Distributors
This report measures the direct effects of beer distributor operations (direct effects), the effects of the
operations of all indirect input producers (indirect
effects) and the effects of spending induced by all
employees (induced effects). Direct effects are
the jobs, payroll and output created directly by the
distributors in their own operations. Indirect effects
are the additional jobs, payroll and output created
when the beer distributors purchase goods, equipment and services from the many diverse businesses
that support them. These businesses include providers of office supplies, fuel for trucks, utilities, insurance
and many other business services. It is important to
note that these providers do not include the suppliers
of the beer and other products that are handled by
the distributors. Additional rounds of indirect effects
occur as providers make purchases from their own
input providers. Induced effects measure the additional jobs, payroll and output created throughout the
economy when the employees of the distributors or
of the indirect providers, in any of the rounds, make
purchases of consumer goods, other property and
services or pay taxes using their wages and salaries.
The total effect, or total impact, is simply the sum of
direct, indirect and induced effects. Multipliers show
the ratios of the total effects to the direct effects and
are calculated separately for jobs, payroll and output.
In addition, each kind of effect (direct, indirect and
induced) consists of activities that are taxed by federal,
state and local governments.
This report utilizes a computer software program,
IMPLAN (described further below), which is able to
compute all of the indirect and induced effects of any
direct effects. The report focuses next on identifying
and quantifying all of the relevant direct effects, which
can be used with the IMPLAN to calculate the impacts
of beer distribution in the United States and in all of
the individual states and Washington, D.C.
Direct Effects of Beer Distributor
Operations
The measure of the magnitude of beer distributor
operations, the direct effects, is the number of fulltime equivalent jobs in each beer distributor establishment. The number of distributor establishments in
each state was obtained from Beer Serves America3,
based on NBWA members and Dun & Bradstreet data.
U.S. Census data on employees per establishment for
roughly two-thirds of all distributor establishments
were expanded to include employment at the establishments omitted from the Census data. The resulting
distributor employment figures for each state were
checked by a number of state beer distributor associations for accuracy, and the figures for two states
were adjusted to be more accurate. The report shows
130,152 full-time equivalent employees in 3,333
distributor establishments in the 50 states and Washington, D.C.4 Using average wage and salary and value

of production data for the wholesaling industry within
each state, the figures for direct wages and salaries
and total value of production, the totals for the U.S. are
approximately $10 billion in wages and salaries and
$22 billion in production.
Capital Investment
The economic model used to calculate impacts
includes beer distributors in a broader industry. This
industry does not normally have the kinds or quantities of capital investment required by beer distributors. For example, beer distributors require substantial
quantities of refrigeration equipment because beer
is a perishable product. Refrigeration is required not
only within the distributor’s facility but also in the
trucks used to transport beer from the distributors to
the retailers. The refrigeration equipment itself creates
needs for additional capital in the form of structures
that can be compartmentalized and refrigerated.
Because refrigeration requires high levels of energy,
beer distributors find it worthwhile to invest in energy
saving technologies and even in their own generation.
Some already are using efficient, compressed-naturalgas-powered trucks, and many have solar generation
as part of their operations. This investment spending
is the source of additional direct effects that produce
economic impacts just as the direct operation expenditures do.
6
In order to appropriately account for
the additional capital spending that
beer distributors undertake, data from
state beer distributor associations
was examined; several identified the
volume of investment made by their
members. Maine’s figure was $8 million
on state sales of $330 million, or about
2.4 percent of sales. Michigan provided
information only on the total value of
vehicles and structures that implied annual investment of those two types of
about 2 percent of sales, which would
indicate a higher percentage when all
kinds of investment are included. The
NBWA’s Distributor Productivity Report
gave us sales data for typical firms. Detailed data from individual distributors
showed expenditures for structures and other forms of
capital investment averaged about $800,000 per year
for a typical five million case per year distributor. These
data indicated annual investment activities amounting to at least 2.4 percent of annual sales, similar to the
result for Maine. Based on the various sources, it was
determined that a conservative estimate of annual
investment would be at least 2.2 percent of sales. This
figure together with state sales provided us with annual direct investment expenditures by state.
Community Involvement
Beer distributors are involved with their communities
in many important ways. Some of this involvement
is partially accounted for in the direct operations of
the distributors. For example, when a beer distributor supports a responsible alcohol-usage program
at local schools or when educational materials are
produced by the distributor, the expenditures associated with those activities are accounted for as part of
the distributor’s overall direct operations. What is not
accounted for, however, is the value of the benefits of
various education programs to the communities from
responsible alcohol usage. In addition to education
programs, beer distributors also are involved in many
volunteer and charitable activities. The funds that
they provide to all kinds of charitable and community
agencies allow those agencies to make expenditures
in the community to accomplish their goals. These
expenditures are the source of additional direct effects
that produce economic impacts just as the direct
operation and investment expenditures do.
There is considerable variation in both the nature and
the extent of charitable and volunteer community involvement activities by beer distributors and their employees. Some brewers encourage distributors who
specialize in their products to donate at least “a penny
per case.” The Michigan Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association reports annual contributions by its members
of approximately $4.5 million and, using its figures for
relative volumes of beer and wine, which amounts to
approximately 4.6 cents per case. Detailed data from
individual distributors showed charitable and community involvement activities that amounts to about 2.2
cents per case. Based on the various sources, a conservative estimate of annual community involvement
would be at least 2.2 cents per case for the average
distributor for charitable activities not accounted for
in overall direct operations. This figure, together with
state case sales, provides an annual direct community
involvement expenditures by state. The figures used
for beer distributor community involvement do not
include the charitable contributions or the volunteer
activities, of the distributor owners or employees. This
figure also does not include the value of contributions
distributors make in community activities using paid
employees because these activities are counted as
part of the direct operations of distributors described
above.
Interstate Component of the
Economic Impacts of Beer
Distributors
A narrow view of the economic contributions of beer
distribution to a state includes only the effects of the
distributors within that state, without allowing for any
of the feedback stimulus that arises from out-of-state
indirect input producers making purchases of their
inputs in the state. For example, if a distributor in New
York purchases office equipment in New Jersey, there
is no impact on New York of the out-of-state purchase.
But there is an effect on New Jersey derived from beer
distributor activity in New York. In addition, if the of-
fice equipment supplier in New Jersey makes purchases of equipment from New York, those purchases
should be attributed to the stimulus that originated
with the New York beer distributor. Such effects are
often not calculated in economic impact analysis. If
the impact region is extended to the whole U.S., such
interstate feedback effects are eliminated. Thus a true
representation of the total impact of beer distributors on the U.S. only can be obtained by calculating
impacts for the U.S. as a whole. Simply adding the
narrowly defined state-level impacts would understate the true impact. For U.S. beer distributors, the understatement amounts to approximately 45 percent
of the total impacts. Thus it is critically important to
capture the interstate component of the economic
impacts. The methodology of this report restores the
missing interstate effects state-by-state. This is done
for direct operations, capital investment and community involvement activities. The analytical model used
for calculating the impacts is described in more detail
in a box below.
Total Economic Impacts of Beer
Distributors
After identifying the magnitudes of each of the direct
effects identified in the paragraphs above for operations, investment and community involvement
– using the IMPLAN model, correcting for interstate
effects, to calculate the indirect, induced and tax impacts for each of the states, Washington, D.C., and the
U.S. – the total effects for each state, Washington, D.C.,
and the U.S. are the sums of the direct, indirect and
induced effects in each for jobs, wages and salaries
and the total value of production.
Multiplier Effects of Beer
Distributor Activities
The relationship (the ratio) between the total impacts,
after all rounds of indirect and induced spending
have been accounted for, and the direct effects is
the multiplier effect. The initial direct spending has
a ripple effect through the economy as successive
rounds of spending and re-spending magnify its
impact. In each round of spending and re-spending,
some of the additional spending is lost from the local
economy because some money goes into saving
7
or non-local purchases. This is why multipliers have
values for smaller states that are typically not as large
as they are for larger states. A multiplier’s size depends
on the residency of the workforce, the average wages
paid and the portion of intermediate purchases that
are supplied locally.
The multiplier is the numerical relationship between
an original change in economic activity and the
ultimate change in activity that results as the money
is spent and re-spent through various sectors of the
economy. An example of re-spending is when an employee of a distributor spends some of her wages on
locally produced goods. The production of the goods
the employee purchases, such as groceries or entertainment, is economic activity that can be indirectly
attributed to the operations of the distributor. Thus,
a one-dollar increase in local distributor operations
results in expansion of total economic activity of more
than one dollar throughout the rest of the economy.
There are several kinds of multipliers used to assess the
economic impacts of any kind of activity. The ones utilized in this report are for jobs, wages and salaries and
the total value of production. The effects of beer distributor activities can be measured in terms of the value
of the output they produce, the number of individuals
they employ and the wages and salaries they pay to
those employees. Just as one dollar of output produced
by a distributor has a total effect of creating more than
one dollar’s worth of output in the impact economy
(this is the value of production multiplier), a single job
at the distributor can be given credit for creating more
than one job in the economy (this is the employment
multiplier).5 Likewise, an additional dollar of wages paid
to one distributor employee results in more than one
additional dollar of total income for the impact region’s
households (this is the income multiplier).
Downstream Effects of Beer
Distributors
Traditional economic impact analysis connects direct
activities to the firms that provide them with inputs
and the firms that, in turn, provide those input suppliers with inputs. These connections in economic
terms are referred to as “upstream” in the sense that
the connections are going back toward the raw material resources on which the economy relies. All of the
preceding discussion focuses on impacts of upstream
activities. For beer distributors, the upstream material input supplies do not include the beer they sell
(which is distributed by the distributors). Distributors
add value by paying wages and salaries and by purchasing their inputs (trucks, fuel, warehouses, utilities,
computer systems, refrigeration, etc.) from upstream
input providers. They use their inputs to produce their
output for the benefit of the “downstream” consumers – retailers, restaurants, bars and households. These
benefits lead to further economic impacts which
are often omitted from traditional economic impact
analysis. In the following paragraphs, several downstream effects that add significantly to the upstream
economic impacts of beer distribution are described.
These downstream effects include:
1. The efficiencies derived from the distribution system, including:
a. The transportation cost savings that the
distributor tier permits
b. The increased consumer choice attributable to the operation of the three-tier
beer distribution system;
2.
The community economic benefits that
flow from distributor community involvement activities (in addition to the upstream
impacts of the input purchases associated
with these activities as measured above);
and
3.
The community benefits derived from the
taxes generated as part of the upstream
economic impacts.

full-time job.)

first and third tiers (brewers/importers and retailers),
transportation needs are reduced. At the same time,
fewer transactions are required and less selling and
marketing effort is needed. Prior studies have found
that these distribution efficiencies are substantial.
The Analytical Model Used for
Calculating the Impacts of Beer
Distributor Activities
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the fundamental efficiency
added by the distribution tier. In this small hypothetical example, Figure 1 shows that, without a distribution tier, all three of the brewers would have to
interact with each of the five retailers – 15 interactions
in each delivery period. The interactions would have
to include potentially separate ordering, marketing,
merchandising, transporting and billing transactions
– a total of 75 interactions. In Figure 2, the number
of interactions falls dramatically as both brewers and
retailers each only have to deal with a distributor. Because beer is perishable, without the refrigerated storage provided by distributors, the number of delivery
trips and related transactions would be even higher
without the distributor tier.
The analytical model used for calculating the impacts of beer distributor economic activities in this
report was developed by the Minnesota IMPLAN
Group. Their IMPLAN (IMpact analysis for PLANning) software is a well-recognized, standard tool
for modeling impacts in regional economies. The
IMPLAN modeling system is based on the pioneering work of Nobel Prize winner, Wassily Leontieff.
IMPLAN uses official U.S. government data sources
for production, employment, wages, incomes and
taxes for more than 400 detailed industry classifications as specified by federal statistical agencies
such as the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor
Statistics and the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis.
In reality, the number of brewers in the U.S. is more
than 2,000 and growing, and the number of licensed
retail outlets for beer sales (beer and liquor stores,
bars, hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.) is in
excess of 500,000. In addition, most retailers receive
deliveries multiple times per week, some more than
once per day, so the number of potential transactions
without beer distributors is truly vast.
IMPLAN permits us to keep track of the number
of incremental full-time-equivalent employees
employed by all of the companies that have direct,
indirect and induced effects. We also keep track of
all the incremental “labor income” paid to all the
employees as well as all of the taxes and fees paid
to state, local and federal government entities.
IMPLAN also provides the option to incorporate
interstate effects.
The sort of distribution shown in Figure 1, direct from
brewers to retailers, would not be possible for many of
the smaller brewers (namely craft brewers). Many craft
brewers could not achieve their current sales volumes
without distribution. While all brewers benefit from the
refrigerated distribution and warehousing provided by
distributors, small brewers especially benefit. A larger
number of brewers increases the range of beer choices
provided to today’s consumers. The increased number
of small brewers that provides consumers with a wider
range of choices is possible only with distribution. In
addition, choice is increased through the larger brewers
who can distribute their increasingly diverse product
lines more quickly through the distribution tier than
they could without it. Economists universally recognize
that an increase in independent consumer choices
10
increases efficiency and consumer well-being.
Other efficiency gains flowing from the existence of
the distribution tier include the centralized collection of state alcohol taxes from a smaller number of
distributors rather than from the larger number of
retailers in each state.
In addition to all of these efficiencies, the magnitude
of which is described below, there are significant contributions that beer distributors make to both brewers
and retailers in their operations. These are described in
the box on the next page entitled The Valuable Services
Provided by Beer Distributors within the Three-Tier System.

Valuable Services Provided by Beer Distributors to Brewers,
Retailers, Customers and the General Public (cont’d)
Valuable Services Provided by Beer Distributors to
the General Public
• Fostering a responsible beer industry. Distributors educate retailers and consumers and
provide resources that promote safe, moderate
and responsible consumption. Distributors help
balance responsibility with robust competition
and vast consumer choice.
Another way in which efficiencies attributable to beer
distributor operations contribute to the economy is
through their role in reducing the cost of tax collection and providing easier enforcement of alcohol
regulations. In this role, distributors act like quasi-government agencies that do not require public funds.6
The existence of the distribution tier also produces
significant efficiencies to the economy by providing
consumers with a wider range of choices than they
would otherwise enjoy. Small brewers are able to
reach wider markets through the access distributors
provide so that consumers have more choice. Some
small brewers would be unable to survive without
distributors because wider distribution enables the
small brewers to achieve the economies of scale that
enable them to compete more effectively with major
brands. Competition among wholesalers can take the
form of competition in terms of the variety of brand
offerings, including the variety of smaller brewers’ offerings that a distributor is able to carry and promote.
One indicator of the range of choice provided by beer
distributors is the number of different items they carry.
In 2011, the average distributor had more than 500
different SKUs.7 Economists agree that an important
indicator of the value to consumers of a wider range
of choices is their willingness to pay for the choice, as
• Tracking product and ensuring tax collection.
Distributors maintain detailed records that make
transparent the chain of custody of alcoholic
beverages from suppliers to retailers. In many
states, distributors also ensure the timely payment and complete collection of state and local
taxes and licensing fees.
is true in the case of a variety of premium, imported
and craft beers made available to consumers only
because of the existence of the distributor tier.
Estimates of the magnitude of the value of increased
consumer choice and transportation/distribution
efficiencies to the U.S. economy are in the billions
of dollars. Sibley (2008) calculates that, without a
distribution tier, more than three times as many
resources would be required to connect producers
with retailers if the same level of consumer choice
as exists now were preserved. So the added value
of the distribution tier (in terms of efficiencies it
creates) amounts to roughly double the amount of
resources actually used with the existing distribution system that includes the distribution tier. The
transportation/distribution efficiencies that preserve
consumer choice benefit the American economy at
an estimated total value of approximately $22 billion
per year.8 This value generates state-level benefits in
proportion to the size of beer distribution in the state
(gallons consumed) and the relative sizes of the beer
distribution and beer retail sectors in the state, as
influenced by differential regulation across the states.
This report calculates the value of the efficiency benefits for each state.
6 An employment multiplier is the total change in full-time equivalent (F.T.E.) jobs generated in the local economy for each direct change of one F.T.E.
position in the economy. (Note that one F.T.E. can be a full-time job, or it can be two or three part-time positions with total hours worked equaling one
full-time job.)
7 A recent survey by A.C Nielsen (www.nielsen.com) revealed that there were 10,366 active SKUs for beer over the whole US during the most
recent 12-month period. Alcoholic beverages in general provide more consumer choices than any of the other FDA categories surveyed.
8 In comparison, Steve L. Barsby and Associates found a similar magnitude for wine and spirits distributors in the early 1990’s, indicating this
estimate is reasonable, given overall inflation, expansion of the sector and the relative size of beer distribution in comparison with wine and
spirits.
12
These efficiencies of beer distribution amount to more
than $42,000 per year per retailer on average, or $116
per day every day of the year. These values differ from
state to state.
Another way of appreciating the magnitude of the
downstream efficiency gains resulting from the existence of the distribution tier is to calculate how much
other valuable social goods could be provided by the
efficiency gains. For example, for the U.S. as a whole,
$22 billion could support more than 800 million public
school teaching hours per year, or more than 825,000
miles of public highways could be maintained.
What Beer Distributor
Involvement Does for
Communities
The economic impacts of community involvement activities are larger than those that were included in the
upstream impacts described above (generating direct
jobs, salaries and wages and production in the non-
profit sector). In addition to the impacts generated by
the direct effects, the programs have large community
benefits that are not captured by the direct expenditures and their multiplied effects. Where allowed by
state regulations, distributors contribute to economic
development in their communities by participating in
and, where allowed, providing products for festivals,
fairs, competitions and other events that enhance the
quality of life in their communities (thereby contributing to local economic development).
The value of these benefits is large but undocumented. State beer distributor associations’ websites
and a large number of individual distributors’ websites
provided additional information used to compile an
extensive collection of descriptions of these activities,
which is indicative of the broad scope and significance of these activities. As case studies of individual
distributor community involvement activities, we
visited two medium-sized distributors (five million
case-equivalent volume) and interviewed their senior
staff responsible for community involvement activity.

Case Study 1
The company has a substantial annual budget for charitable donations that does not include personal donations from each of the partners in the company or the donations of employees. The budget covers cash
contributions, product donations, matching funds programs, etc. that are benefitting hundreds of organizations within the company’s distribution footprint. The largest recipients include:
• A private foundation that provides training for disabled veterans returning from duty, and financial
support to families of fallen soldiers;
• A community run for a nationwide program that honors fallen veterans with 5k runs every year on
September 11;
• A nonprofit agency that provides for educational support programs to children “at risk” in the local
school district;
• A program that provides matching funds to help families of soldiers lost or wounded;
• A citizens advisory committee that administrates such programs as D.A.R.E. and other alcohol and
drug educational programs within local schools;
• Responsible Alcohol Marketing Program training for retail establishments, where each licensed account receives free training for management and staff regarding responsible serving;
• Several programs that support child victims within the community;
• A club that sponsors several programs supporting services for autistic children within the community;
and
• An acting program for children and adults with disabilities.
In addition the company supports national charities such as the American Red Cross.
Case Study 2
For this company, this report concentrated on the activities for which the company made significant in-kind
donations. Such contributions are an important part of beer distributors’ activities in both the charitable and
community development areas. Often these are fundraising events and the use of the funds raised, which
are far in excess of the value of the resources contributed by the distributors, are a multiple of the efforts of
the company. The list below includes the community events supported by this company during the first
eight months of the year. In addition, the company supports national charities such as the Alzheimer’s Association, March of Dimes and the Little Sisters of the Poor.

What Taxes Generated by Beer
Distributors Do for Communities
This report calculates the amounts of taxes generated
as part of the upstream economic impacts. These taxes go to federal, state and local governments. These
taxes are used in a variety of ways that produce social
benefits. For example, if all the taxes generated as a
16
-
result of the direct activities of beer distributors were
used to support public education, they could fund
more than 375 million hours of teaching per year. Or, if
they were used to support public infrastructure, they
could provide maintenance for more than 385,000
miles of public roads per year. This tax figure does not
include federal, state and local excise and consumption taxes collected on alcohol.

donations to a wide variety of non-profit organizations. Beer distributors in Alabama take on a fundamental role in the
