Is all that PEI info really prohibitive? When I was there in '99 they only had one brewpub (close to the University).Bonobo wrote:Hello, I am trying to find information regarding the laws and prerequisites of starting a Microbrewery in Ontario.

On the contrary, effective January 2008 ALL new Ontario breweries must make at least three of the following styles: Imperial Stout, Double or Single IPA, Saison, Doppelbock, Belgian Strong ale or a real ESB.velovampire wrote:For starters, I'm pretty sure any microbreweries in Ontario must sign a government-issued writ before operation begins declaring that they will never bottle an IPA. Perry refused to sign and look what happened to him (and his beautiful beer...)
I miss Perry's IPA - Spruce forest, Peeling a grapefruit. What a beer Sgt Majors used to be. Let's not fool ourself something "Major" was lost in translation.

Is there a different rule driving all the fruit beer to market or is it just an excess supply of jam in Ontario?Belgian wrote: On the contrary, effective January 2008 ALL new Ontario breweries must make at least three of the following styles: Imperial Stout, Double or Single IPA, Saison, Doppelbock, Belgian Strong ale or a real ESB.
I could be wrong, but I think premises restrictions and zoning requirements are in the municipal domain rather than provincial. You might want to check your local municipality's web site for more info.Bonobo wrote:Well thanks for the Information so far. I was also trying to find laws about the actual manufacture of alcohol..eg; premesis restrictions, zoning requirements and any of the usual government snags associated with anything good. ANyone know of a good source (in Ontario) for microbrewery equiptment?
