That doesn't mean anything. Practically every time I visit an LCBO, I see price cards & shelf talkers in the wrong places. It's quite possible that they simply stuck the sign in question up next to a bunch of random higher alcohol beers, without making it clear which ones actually had a retail price increase vs. those that didn't.Responsible Drinker wrote: There's little signs hanging beneath my brews explaining the price increase!

Price hike for stronger suds
Also...
Admittedly, I don't remember which beers had a pricing increase. I think any beer over 5.6% had a little notice hanging with it.
I find this interesting (20 May 04):
"Sales of domestic craft beer and non-U.S. imported beer rose by 18.6 and 14.7 per cent respectively, further evidence of the trend to premium products."

The corporate politics just makes me sick!

Guys, two things happened...strong beers were targetted and a mark-up rate based upon alcohol content was implemented...second, all products inluding wine, beers and spirits had a price increase and many suppliers chose not to absorb them this time so a lot of things went up. For example, Duvel was not affected by the high alcohol issue but still went up 5 cents from $2.95 to $3.00 as did Mort Subite and many other beers. Hope that settles the matter for you all!
