Beer brewers say they're disappointed in the government for bumping alcohol taxes. 

The alcohol excise tax is set to increase by 4.1% from July. 

It follows a number of increases over recent years. 

Brewers' Association Executive Director Dylan Firth told Mike Hosking that things are pretty tough out there.

He says the last government made a number of increases to the tax, but more hikes are unsustainable.
