    There’s lots of craft beers on Canada now. At least, that’s most of what I’ve bought lately but I don’t drink very often.

    Shout out to Granville Island Winter Ale. Goddam delicious!

        Ah damn.

        Need a law that gets rid of American ownership of Canadian companies.

      There may be a lot of craft breweries in Canada now, but if they only sell in Canada and maybe the US border region you’re still looking at a fraction compared to even a US-only producer based on population alone.

      Unless they are massive, like the scale of something like Budweiser… They’re probably not part of the “world’s biggest producers”.
