Ye, gods! Vexations and challenges abound for anybody running a business in Manitoba in April 2025.

Brad sits down with beercrank.ca's Cody Lobreau to discuss the current challenges to the Manitoba Craft Beer industry, and the fresh challenges awaiting in a world of fresh and vicarious tariffs.

Thanks to our hosts, Section 6 Brewing of Brandon.

Also mentioned, yet another honour pending for the gang at Dauphin's Obsolete Brewing, and Morden's Rendezvous has a new ownership group and a new approach.

Just a brief rant about beers and bullies.

Buying local is always better.

But now’s the time to point to an inescapable fact. The vast majority of beer is controlled by multinational corporations, many headquarted in America.

Manitoba’s brewers stand at the ready, to help you replace that multinational controlled lager with something local, made from Canadian if not local ingredients.

When you buy a Corporate Beer, very little of your money creates local jobs or stays here.

When you by local, you help your neighbours who brew your beer, and the folks who grow the inputs.

This podcast has always argued that local is better.

Now, more then ever....it is time to rally around the taps at your local brewer.
