Beer prices in New York are expected to rise by as much as $1 per pint in the coming weeks after the State Legislature eliminated a crucial tax incentive given to state breweries. While politicians and lobbyists try to figure out a new way to promote local brewing, companies like Kelso, Sixpoint and Brooklyn Brewery are being hit with higher taxes. Combine this with the potential happy hour ban, and you can expect to spend more on beer than ever before. [DNA Info]
