A hike in a ‘beer tax’ that could make brews more expensive for Canadians is again being considered by Ottawa after a delay earlier in the year.
Federal beer excise duties are set to increase by 4.7 per cent in April 2024, an increase that could make beer up to 20 cents more expensive for a case of 24, according to CJ Hélie, president of Beer Canada.

Beer is already ridiculously expensive in Canada. As a dual citizen, I always load up in New York before crossing that border. Crazy that they want to hike it more.

Good thing i quit drinking.
I wonder if beer retailers and producers will increase their prices in hopes of making a little more margin.
After all, it didn’t stop all sorts of companies sneaking above-inflation increases in under the guise of inflation.
