Vaughan blows. Classic comment. Summing up an amazingly complex relationship in 12 basic letters. I can see it. It does not provide what you desire in terms of beer supply in any way, shape or form and yet you are mere minutes/hours ( from my point of view) from the best Ontario answers - Granite, ...

Most business models for production breweries that I have seen recently include a version of all malt lager or ale as a volume foundation beer with smaller volume seasonals/barrel aged/spiced/soured/stone brewed/vegetable/etc... to create interest and spur growler sales/media reports/award offerings...

Doesn't that mean it's probably brewed at the Molson Downsview plant? If Labatt US is still contracting Molson to brew for them - yes, maybe. The big outdoor fermentors are for Labatt Blue products. I wouldn't doubt that all 5 Blue brands are made at the Molson plant. Specialty stuff is likely done...

So many beers...so many brands to create. When brewers (who often aren't involved in branding or naming beers) stand around, we have a pint and occasionally generate names for brands. Many fall into the category of 'inappropriate ales' and will never see the light of day. Examples: Call Centre India...

I like it in theory but I'm dubious about how the 20 metres is going to be enforced by bar owners. Although I guess the insufferable dickbags I shoulder through outside Jack Astors at Front and Church can now head into the alley beside C'est What and stand in years of dried piss while they light up...

I believe this is simple demand/supply. SN has never had the capacity to look at our market. An importer/distributor friend of mine (who has the rights to SN) indicated that they have had the rights for quite some time but until SN opened an eastern plant, supply was simply not realistic. Things are...

Question: Why would anybody question the logic of aggressive Michigan breweries from avoiding a market with 7 million purchasers right next door? A bit obvious isn't it? Just look who runs our province. Many of the fence riders post here and run some of our bigger craft breweries. Thank godness I'm ...

Only in Ontario would an industry trade association not only be unable to attract the majority of its industry, but also support an archaic system which benefits competitors that aren't actually in their membership. What he said. It is the same province where we have to hold our nose to vote yet we...
