Liquor Bulletin
This bulletin is to advise all Class E liquor manufacturers of beer markup changes as well as a policy amendment to the Liquor Manufacturer Handbook (LMH) regarding annual worldwide production (AWP) thresholds for small beer manufacturers.
Effective June 1, 2025:
- The AWP threshold and applicable markup rates for small brewers receiving the reduced markup benefit have been amended. To receive the reduced small brewer markup benefit, beer manufacturers must have an AWP of less than 300,000 hectolitres.
- The small brewer markup schedule has been revised and is available online.
Section 3.1 of the Liquor Manufacturer Handbook has been amended to reflect the new AWP threshold for beer.
If you have any questions regarding the implementation of the markup or AWP changes, please contact AGLC’s Liquor and Cannabis Division at liquorservices@aglc.ca.
