its went bonkers down here. You can’t even find a house. My home has went up like 50% in three years, but I’m not selling. Just have to buy another. Rates are going up so prices will probably flatten and go down, but a ton of cash buyers so who knows.
The taxes on beer are fairly low. We have a good guild which pushes back when some hotshot state congress person, backed by neo-prohibitionists, sponsors a bill to skyrocket beer production taxes every several years
The amount of economic churn and jobs the industry creates is significant here.
Not too sure about liquor. I think it’s a little inflated by being a liquor control state. You can only buy spirits from state sanctioned stores and the OLCC acts as defacto distributors. I sometimes trek to Vancouver to buy a nice scotch because it’s cheaper there
