Every state imposes taxes on beer above the usual sales tax. It's a small thing you probably don't think much about. That's just the price of doing business when business is buying a six pack.

In a report, The Beer Institute says taxes are actually the most expensive part of your beer. It claims taxes, from city to federal, account for 40% of what you're paying for that oversized bottle of Game of Thrones-themed beer. (Or any other beer.) Those are some broad strokes, but there are excise taxes you're paying when you stop by the liquor store for a case of beer.

The Tax Foundation has taken a deep dive to reveal the amount you're paying in beer-specific taxes in every US state. The amount represented below is per gallon of beer.
