"If the airline industry is getting excise tax relief, then the beverage alcohol industry should also get relief."

Goals to Help Members: 

  • Expanded Unemployment insurance
  • Suspension of Payroll Taxes
  • Federal Excise Tax Relief
  • no and low interest loan growth in the funding of the above programs
  • Industry Stabilization Funds
    • cash infusions
  • Maintaining an open commercial border
    • Suspension of beverage tariffs and their suppliers

Up to the end of April, the ACA  encourages association members who were forced to layoff staff, to Michelle to have their former employees sign up for a free level 1 Certified Cider Professional exam so they can add to their resume during this down time.
