The pricing is infuriating in Canada, since nearly half the price of real beer is alcohol-related excise duties and taxes, which do not apply to non-alcoholic beers. So when companies charge the same or more they are just keeping the difference, it is not “sin tax” related like we’ve been conditioned to accept up here…

Since the AP article didn’t have it, here’s the mugshot:

This was really interesting and the website wasn’t phone cancer either. Thank you!
