Post by BeerMonger »

Hi folks...been lurking around but haven't posted in a long time...I found this interesting and thought I would share:

Will Ontario be far behind? Would be nice to get a price break on (what is supposed to be) decent beer...

Is it just me, or is Sympatico.ca News about a year late on this one?

The story is about them defending the decision a year later - despite dismal and declining sales numbers.

Was the original link to the wrong article?

The original article was dated today, but was announcing the beer and read much like the CBC news article linked above. Looks like they changed it on sympatico news' end.

Well, I have been with Sympatico a long time and I knew they recycled some stuff but to cloud the issue even further the link I posted now has a newer article as opposed to the one that I posted earlier today...it is talking about problems with the Provincial beer in the past tense...this is very strange...

Anyhow, sorry for the crap I posted...

No worries as there is a new angle to the story now. They're spinning it as a success as a trigger of beer sales growth - entirely ignoring all the other reasons beer sales are up. Here's the CBC New Brunswick article on the topic:
