The Brooklyn Beer Subsidy

The Brooklyn Brewery is getting an $800,000 grant from the state of New York, the New York Times reports this morning. The article doesn't explore why the state's taxpayers who don't drink beer, or who prefer other brands of beer, or who own or work at competing breweries, should have their money taken away from them and given to the owner of this brewery. Many of these taxpayers are less rich than this brewery owner is, making this deal another Reverse Robin-Hood.
