We Know Your Business

There is specific paperwork you need to fill out as a professional brewer. Some come from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) while some are required by the state. While this paperwork is to assure the authorities that you are complying with all relevant tax laws, it remains absolutely crucial that it be up-to-date should an auditor come knocking. We can help you with:

  • Quarterly Tax Returns (TTB)
  • Brewer’s Report of Operations (TTB)
  • Daily records of operations
  • Records of balling and alcohol content
  • Inventory records of monthly physical inventory
  • Records of unsalable beer (lost batches and serving wastage)
  • Records of beer concentrate
  • Keeping the Brewer’s Bond current
  • Advice on Formula Approval

We aren’t in the business of making beer. That’s your job and you excel at it. What we do is make your life easier so that you can focus on running your brewery. We can help as much or as little as your needs demand. Give us a call and let’s talk about how Draughts & Ledgers can help!
