Petition Repeal new duty rate on high strength beer

More details

The new duty rate on high strength beer is supposed to help curb problem drinking. Most problem drinking is caused by mid strength beer and hard spirits; sold in volume by supermarkets.
Many iconic craft beers are above this threshold. I want the government to target the root causes, not blindly target the craft beer industry.
