Another Australian brewery is in serious financial difficulty, following on from a series of craft brewers entering voluntary administration – and they all blame the same reason for their troubles.
The latest casualty is the gold coast-based Black Hops Brewing, which has gone into voluntary administration due to mounting tax debts.
Like the many other small and medium-sized brewers in the same boat, Black Hops has laid the blame squarely at the door of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
‘This decision has not been easy to make, however, the path the ATO has taken with the business has left the company in a position where there was no alternative,’ the brewery said in a statement.
Black Hops Brewing was started in 2015 by friends Dan Norris, Eddie Oldfield and brewer Michael ‘Govs’ McGovern and has since become stocked across the country.
