U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., hosted a "Happy Half-Hour Hangout" on Google yesterday with craft brewers Gary Fish, owner of Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon, and Jeff Hamilton, President of Sprecher Brewing Co. in Glendale, Wisconsin.

"From our discussion, it's clear our laws should be helping breweries and other craft beverage makers grow, not cut them off with redtape and taxes," Wyden said. "I look forward to working with Sen. Baldwin and my colleagues to pass legislation to remove obstacles these businesses face."

"Local brewers, like those who joined our Hangout, create jobs and strengthen our local economies," said Baldwin. "By supporting these small businesses with tax relief, we can help create economic growth and move our Made in Wisconsin economy forward."
