Indeed, given that the minimum prices vary according to the alcohol level, Labatt decided to lower that of the Labatt Blue from 5% (in effect everywhere in Canada) to 4.9% in Quebec only. This allows Labatt to sell its 24 pack at a much better price if it wants to (up to $1 less). So one beer, two different alcohol rates, all thanks to the Quebec beer regulation!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thus, the Quebec minimum price of beer for a 24-pack of <strong>Bud Light<\/strong> (4% alcohol) will rise from<strong> $25.95<\/strong> to <strong>$26,45<\/strong>, an increase of 50 cents.<\/p>\n<p>That of a 24-pack of <strong>Molson Dry<\/strong> (5.5%) will almost reach the $29 mark, rising from <strong>$28.44<\/strong>\u00a0to <strong>$28.98<\/strong>, an increase of 54 cents.<\/p>\n<p>Now, will this affect current prices? Not necessarily, because the vast majority of retailers already sell their beer well above the minimum price, as we reported in a previous article (see <a href=\"https:\/\/depquebec.com\/en\/this-year-you-wont-find-in-quebec-a-24-pack-of-beer-sold-at-minimum-price\/\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>DepQu\u00e9bec<\/strong>&#8216;s most recent beer price survey, only Costco and a few beer discount c-stores will be forced to raise prices and that, for some products only.
