Sure, California is a high tax state - but not when you're buying beer and whiskey
Briefly

California's excise tax on beer is 20 cents a gallon, ranking 30th; on distilled spirits like whiskey and vodka, it's $3.30 a gallon, ranking 40th.
Taxes contribute more to beer prices than labor and raw materials; federal taxes vary based on production, location, and quantity, making up about 40% of the final price.
