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.

In other words, if you drink two beers a day, every single day, the total cost of your beer will go up about $6/year. If you're so close to the edge already that that is going to tip you over, maybe you ought to cut the beer altogether.
