CHEERS Act

Share Post

With bipartisan and bicameral support, Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL-16), Steven Horsford (D-NV-04), Suzan DelBene (D-WA-01) and Claudia Tenney (R-NY-24) alongside Senators Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH), introduced earlier this month H.R.3325/S.1732, the Creating Hospitality Economic Enhancement for Restaurants and Servers (CHEERS) Act. This critical legislation provides targeted tax relief to bars, restaurants, taprooms and entertainment venues with draft beer systems, helping the hospitality sector reinvest in local businesses and their employees.

The CHEERS Act expands the longstanding Section 179D tax deduction for energy-efficient investments, now including keg and tap systems, draft equipment upgrades and relief for lost or stolen kegs. By reducing upfront costs for hospitality businesses, this bill makes it easier for bars and restaurants to modernize their draft beer infrastructure and keep serving fresh, high-quality beer to consumers nationwide.

This legislation remains under consideration by both Chambers of Congress. The Brewers Association is in full support.
