Re: Beer in the news
It's $0.50/L for all beer sold in the province outside NSLC stores. For in-store sales they just mark it up 40%
This goes for every glass sold, growler, tanker truck etc, brewpubs, microbreweries, big breweries.... We all pay it.

Re: Beer in the news
If they lose the $1 million a year they charge the breweries, they will need to make it up somehow. It would likely result in price increases on the category. Or, yes, restrictions on sales activities on brewery premises, or similar. They typically look at sales outside the NSLC as a loss of revenue to the province, not as a gain for the industry as a whole. I actually worked for them back when Garrison and Propeller were getting started in the late '90's and literally had to explain the markup (taxation) process to the breweries, wineries, etc. That was entertaining...Celiacbrew wrote:If they lose the $1 on growlers won't they turn around and restrict sales of alcohol to only NSLC stores?
It's interesting that the government attracts new employers to the province (e.g. call centers) with payroll tax incentives, but taxes the crap of our home grown industries.

Re: Beer in the news
Alcohol taxes are an incredibly regressive tax (in that they take a larger percentage of a poor person's income than a rich persons income). Any regressive tax is literally stealing from the poor and giving to the rich, and as such should be purged. If the revenue warrants replacement it should be done on taxes that properly scale with wealth (income, capital gains, property)

Re: Beer in the news
It's also a sin tax, and you face an uphill battle arguing that it should be minimized. "why should my taxes be higher so someone else can get drunk and not contribute to society"

Re: Beer in the news
Speaking of the $0.50/l remittance "tax" was there any justification given as to why it is higher than the $0.20/l for wine? Based on consumption levels or cost per oz?NASH wrote:It's $0.50/L for all beer sold in the province outside NSLC stores. For in-store sales they just mark it up 40%

Moosehead Breweries suing over Moose Wizz root beer logo
Beer giant alleges Adirondack Pub & Brewery Inc.'s moose head label 'highly similar,' may cause confusion
Moosehead Breweries Limited is suing a pub in upstate New York for alleged trademark infringement and unfair competition over its non-alcoholic root beer logo.
Adirondack Pub & Brewery Inc., in Lake George, N.Y., currently makes Moose Wizz, and markets the drink in a bottle featuring the head of a cartoon-like moose with a toothy grin.
In a lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court earlier this month, the Saint John-based beer-making giant says the soft drink's logo is "highly similar" and may cause "irreparable damage and injury" to its brand.
But Adirondack Pub & Brewery founder John Carr rejects that claim.
"I'm a little like the moose, I'm a pretty independent guy and that didn't ring well with me," Carr told CBC News.
"The Moosehead Brewery, they don't make soda, they don't market anything in our area, there's been no confusion in the marketplace whatsoever with these products," he said.
Moosehead Breweries alleges the soft drink Moose Wizz may cause "irreparable damage and injury" to its brand. (Moosehead Breweries)
No one from Moosehead was immediately available for comment.
Moosehead's lawyers have requested a jury trial and damages, including all the profit made from Moose Wizz.
Late last year, Moosehead convinced a micro-brewery in Sudbury, Ont., to drop the word "moose" from the name of its Imperial IPA Angry Moose and India Pale Ale Friendly Moose products.
Shawn Mailloux, the owner of Stack Brewing, said Andrew Oland, the president of Moosehead Breweries, had called him to say Moosehead has the sole rights to the word "moose" when it comes to beer in Canada.
Moosehead says its case against Adirondack Pub & Brewery dates back to 2008 when Carr attempted to trademark the Moose Wizz name, then abandoned his application when faced with opposition from Moosehead, based on its prior use of the Moose family of trademarks.
"Moosehead has used the Moosehead mark since at least 1931 in connection with ale, beer, stout, porter and lager," the court documents state.
"Moosehead's Moose family of marks include marks which include the term 'Moose' and/or the likeness of the head of a moose."
The company contends Adirondack Pub and Brewery's Moose Wizz logo is so similar, "members of the purchasing public familiar with Moosehead's products and Moosehead's Moosehead trademarks are likely to be confused, misled or deceived into thinking that the products of Defendant are products of Moosehead or are in some way sponsored by or connected with Moosehead, to Moosehead's irreparable damage and injury.
"Moosehead has no control over the nature and quality of the products offered by Defendant under the Moose Wizz trademark, and thus will be damaged and irreparably harmed by reason of the loss of control over its reputation and the erosion of its goodwill in the Moosehead Registered Marks," the documents state.
Looks like they won and are stirring the pot again!

Re: Beer in the news
Saoud said since there are some corner stores in rural Nova Scotia that already sell beer when there’s no NSLC nearby, it’s only fair to extend the ability to all convenience store owners in urban centres
“They’re running them awesome … you don’t ever hear of a problem. Well, why not here?” Saoud said.

Think of the children!!!! I have been to Florida several times. They sell beer in corners stores, gas stations, supermarkets. Florida is a scary place. No one goes there. Certainly not children!!

This is all bs. Cigarettes are a controlled substance and NB and NS have no problem with corner stores selling smokes. It's also easier to sell bullets than beer. Figure that one out.
