Description

A listener was wondering why beer at the local pubs here in Antigonish is so expensive, so we sat down with Bryan Druhan of Candid Brewing Company to ask him not just about beer prices, but drinking culture in Antigonish. The short answer: prices in Antigonish for craft beer are actually cheaper than they could be, and less expensive than you’ll see in cities like Halifax. Everything from the tariffs on aluminum to the war in Ukraine have affected commodity prices that have impacted local breweries. We also asked Bryan about student drinking culture here in Antigonish, changes to people’s pub-visiting and drinking behaviour, and the alcohol consumption warning labels that Candid has put on its beer.
