The Canadian brewing landscape remains in a state of transition. We’ve seen brewing operations spun off, sold or closed. We’ve seen fantastic brewers retire and move on. We’ve seen brewers do what they’ve always done and that’s play their part in producing excellent, reliable beer that forms such an important part in many people’s lives.
