I'm surprised one supplier can have such market share. I wonder how you can tell which brewers buy from them, or more importantly, don't.

Interesting discussion on twitter...seems "some" Ontario craft beers use these cans, but most do not.
Of course....if you really give a crap about this, then you need to ask where these can producers are getting their raw materials to make aluminum cans. Are they coming from bauxite mines in India, Guyana, Indonesia, Guinea, China, Jamaica or Fiji? Are those mines at the top of the controversy chain or are they sustainable / responsible operations....
