When U.S. products were pulled off the shelves of corporate ANBL stores in March as part of the province’s response to the trade war with our southern neighbours, the Crown corporation had about $4 million of American inventory. There’s about $3.4 million left now.

New Brunswickers who are missing the sting of Kentucky bourbon or the smoothness of California wine can now find bottles back on liquor store shelves — at least, in one location.
New Brunswick Liquor started selling its back-stock of American products at its warehouse location in Salisbury just over a week ago, according to CEO Lori Stickles.
“We really want to maximize the value for New Brunswick. We own these products; let’s sell them, let’s get our money out of these products,” Stickles said.
“We’re actively working to recover that investment for the people of New Brunswick, reduce waste. We don’t want to be storing these products or, you know, in the event some of them get too old, then you have to destroy the product.”
