    2025/04/01

    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.

  • Manitoba Beercast Minute - Rally around the taps!

    Manitoba Beercast Minute - Rally around the taps!
    2025/03/13

    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.

    Beercast 008 – Industry Crossroads
    2024/03/26
    Stone Angel Brewing closes with a St. Paddy's Day send-off. The Manitoba brewing industry may lose more players, as sales plateau and some drinkers shift their tastes downwards. Bob and Doug McKenzie sell out to national lobby group Beer Canada, to help fight the smallest tax increase in decades. Cody Lobreau, the Beercrank, drops by to discuss saisons in a somewhat messy tasting session.Follow us on twitter at @mbbeercast. Our email is beerme@manitobabeercast.com.

    Beercast 007 -Tasting rooms are now just small bars
    2023/09/04
    Around 4:30 pm on September 1, 2023, the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba sent out one torpedo of an email to every taproom in the Brewery industry in this province: You're all classified as age restricted. In two weeks time, you can't have kids in your establishments.The timing was funky, the rule changes essentially an act of passive aggression. Those breweries who had built reputations as family-friendly establishments now have two weeks to plead their case to be rated with general licence, like your neighborhood eatery.In any case, Brad rants and moves the cast into "Explicit" territory with a few well placed profanities.Read the Free Press story:https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/food/2023/09/01/liquor-licence-changes-prioritize-reducing-risk-of-selling-serving-to-minors

  • Beercast 006 – Who’s a Good Sport?

    Beercast 006 – Who’s a Good Sport?
    2023/06/30
    ...and we're back! Today the Beercast finds that the beer choices at certain sports venue aren't what they could be...but one team as gone "all in" on local brews. Andrew Collier of the Winnipeg Goldeyes (www.goldeyes.com) talks about how the club decided to feature nothing but draft and cans brewed in Manitoba. He talks about their Craft Beer Corner, Craft Beer Voucher program (5 beer, 5 ticket vouchers for 95 bucks) and their upcoming Ballpark Brewfest at the park, July 22. Plus thoughts on the current state of relations between other local sports teams and local brewers, on beer festivals, and the baseball cap gets doffed to Manitoba brewers who took home national awards this past month. All this in the time it takes to ride the bus back from the game. BTW, this summer I'm looking for a Manitoba beer that can replace that Big Corporate Beer in your in-laws' cooler. To be honest, the Beercast wants to debate whether local producers should even try. Touch base at @mbbeercast on twitter (before it dissolves), or send your thoughts to beerme@manitobabeercast.com. No prizes on this one...just hoping to fan the flames on this question.
