Ontario Craft Beer Route

Interesting to note that Ontario, through the LCBO and Ontario Craft Brewers, has witnessed the launch of a beer route for beer related tourism. This is similar to the idea moving through New York's legislature that we read about last month. The LCBO, the province's semi-monopoly on hootch supply …

Here is a report from the front line - the very counter in Bury St. Edmunds from Paul, the owner of Beer2Go, a type of beer store that would be illegal in most of Canada and perhaps some of the USA - certainly Pennsylvania - though it is essentially the same idea as the Party Source in Syracuse …
