Just to let you all know I have no offence to any thing said, and absolutley everyone is entiltled to thier opinions on beer. I respect that and always have, and it is more or less what I was saying. Also, some are talking of KLB brands in past tense. There is no need to. All KLB brands will continu...

re John Walker: Some good comments I think. KLB never had a problem with selling beer, we almost always had a problem supplying. There are enough people suffciently tantalized by our products to be sustainable. Again, the taxes render profitablity impossible. As for more interesting products in Onta...

ahh, trying to pull me in. Can't say much at this point guys....will keep talking about other things though. The only thing any brewery really has to sell of values is its brands. Equipment is equipment is equipment....the brands are the only thing that really matters

Guess I have to say just a little more. The expansion had nothing to do with it. We had no choice but to expand. There was no significant increase in over heads.

I did not see Perry's last post before my first reply. This is the reality of small brewers in Canada. KLB is not the first to restructure its brewery or brands, and it won't be the last for sure.

I will post the news when I am able to, but much of what has been said is not true. Some is though, Be patient and I will give a full update in one week. al...
