Duties on super-strength beers and lagers are to rise next year, the Treasury has announced.In horror, Grumpy Bob read on, to discover what constituted 'super-strength'...would this include Team Grumpy official energy drink Leffe? Would this mean a retreat to non-alcoholic energy drink?
Tax on beers and lager over 7.5% ABV (alcohol by volume) will increase from autumn 2011 although the exact amount will not be known until March's Budget.Aha! So that's OK, Leffe Blond is officially 6.6% (though the 9o, Radiuese and Tripel varieties enter high tax levels).
Onwards and upwards!
