Ontario craft brewers to lose $8 million fund
They have names like Flying Monkeys or Kichesippi and use ingredients like maple syrup and raspberries. And until a few years ago, few Ontario consumers knew or understood the concept of craft beer.
All that changed in part due to an $8 million provincial program that Ontario’s smallest brewers learned this week will not be renewed, another victim of the government’s sweeping deficit-slaying measures.

Ontario needs to get it together. I think more people are starting to realize how the antiquated LCBO and corporate-owned Beer Store are trying to strangle what is otherwise a burgeoning craft brew scene. Keep fighting, Ontario brewers! And eventually, bring your beer to Michigan, we’ll help you drink it!
