Ottawa is making changes to the excise duty on alcohol, and the president of the Craft Brewers Association of Nova Scotia is welcoming the federal changes. The excise duty on alcohol will be capped, and for the first 15,000 hectolitres of beer, it will be cut in half.

Andrew Tanner, the president of the Craft Brewers Association of Nova Scotia, expressed his approval of the federal changes. He highlighted the challenges faced by the industry in Nova Scotia over the past year and emphasized the positive impact these changes will have.

The move by Ottawa comes as a relief to the craft brewing industry, particularly in Nova Scotia, where the sector has faced significant difficulties. The reduction in excise duty is expected to provide much-needed support and relief to the industry.

This development is a significant step for the craft brewing sector in Nova Scotia and is anticipated to have a positive effect on the industry’s growth and sustainability. The president’s welcoming of the federal changes reflects the industry’s optimism and hope for a brighter future.
