BEER CANADA

Beer is truly a local business with small, medium, and larger brewers making positive contributions to Canada's reputation, economy, communities, and social well-being. Your favorite pint is made by talented brewers from barley grown locally by dedicated farmers. It's delivered by rail or truck to your local alcohol retailer or pub and served to you cold by a beer expert. And yet, tax is the single largest component of the price you pay for Canadian beer. Almost half the retail price of beer in Canada - 47 per cent - is government tax, a commodity tax rate five times higher than in the U.S. and significantly higher than in most EU countries.
