Gerard Comeau was charged with illegally importing 14 cases of cheaper beer and three bottles of liquor from a Quebec border town in 2012. FREDERICTON — The New Brunswick government will appeal a court ruling in April that effectively threw out limits on cross-border alcohol imports. Beer on display in a store in Drummondville, Que., New Brunswick is appealing a court rulling that effectively threw out limits on cross-border alcohol imports. Judge Ronald LeBlanc tossed out all charges against Gerard Comeau, who was charged with illegally importing 14 cases of beer and three bottles of liquor from a Quebec border town in 2012. Beer near the border in Quebec is about half the price charged in New Brunswick, but the Liquor Control Act prohibits anyone in New Brunswick from having more than 12 pints of beer that wasn’t purchased through a liquor store in the province.
