Liquor Laws in NS regarding home brewing are much more liberal than NB, but it is actually illegal in NS to have a faucet to serve beer in your own home ...everyone does though.

Liquor commissions scan sites like this looking for people posting about illegal activity, or borderline illegal activity.

I'm guessing its in reference to this:
Presence of appliances or preparations
133
Any house, shop, room or other place in which it is proved that there exist beer pumps or any other appliances or preparations similar to those usually found in hotels and shops where liquor is accustomed to be sold or trafficked in, other than those of common use in private houses, shall be prima facie evidence that it is a place in which liquor is unlawfully had or kept or had or kept for an unlawful purpose and in contravention of this Act, and the occupant of the house, shop, room or other place shall be taken to be the person who has or keeps therein the liquor for sale, traffic or barter therein.
I won't be moving my kegerator to a secret back room just yet....

I guess if your really paranoid you should also worry about this one:
Appearance of premises
134
The fact of any person keeping up any sign, writing, printing or other work in or near to his house or premises, or having the house fitted up with a bar or other place containing bottles or casks displayed so as to induce a reasonable belief that the house or premises is or are licensed for the sale of any liquor or that liquor is sold or served therein, or that there is on such premises more liquor than is reasonably required for the persons residing therein, shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the unlawful sale and keeping for sale and having and keeping of liquor by the person.

Lawyers. They want you to have to pay a lawyer to decipher it, I think. I have to read crap like this for work so often it makes my damn head spin.

Ha, ha. What lawyer wants to litigate "more liquor than is reasonably required for the persons residing therein" in the Maritimes? Step up to the plate, pour a pint, and let's discuss "reasonable". Fuckers.

I would say that in this day n age it would be pretty easy to argue that taps are in common use, so they're probably okay.
