<\/a>A MINIMUM PRICE HIGHER BY 14%:<\/strong> According to Quebec regulation, the minimum price of beer yearly increase must reflect the Canadian inflation level, not Quebec’s. However, for the past 10 years, the annual average increase in Canadian inflation has been 1.6% compared to 1.4% for Quebec. This difference therefore slightly favored Quebec retailers by providing them with a minimum price 14% higher than if it had been calculated using Quebec inflation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Thus, the Quebec minimum price of beer for a 24-pack of Bud Light<\/strong> (4% alcohol) will rise from $25.40 to $25.58<\/strong>, an increase of 18 cents.<\/p>\n
That of a 24-pack of Molson Dry<\/strong> (5.5%) will almost reach the $29 mark, rising from $27.83 to $28.03<\/strong>, an increase of 20 cents.<\/p>\n
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 here<\/a>).<\/p>\n
According to DepQu\u00e9bec<\/strong>‘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. See by yourself (taxes are not included).<\/p>\n
