Sounds Like Beer

  Last week, the Ontario liberals release Ed Clark’s final report on what to do with beer sales in Ontario. Titled “Striking the Right Balance: Modernizing Beer Retailing and Distribution in Ontario”, the report outlines a number of recommended changes to the current system in the province. For a primer on how the current system sucks, you can check out the first episode of this podcast. While reactions to these proposed changes have been mixed, it seems that generally speaking, people are pretty excited that something is actually happening to challenge the Beer Stores quasi-monopoly. In order to suss out some of the broad details of this plan, and get a better insight on what this could mean for craft beer lovers in Ontario, I sat down with three of Toronto’s best beer writers and advocates for a change to the system: Chris Schryer, Jordan St. John and Dan Grant. @chrisschryer         torontobeerblog.com @brewscout            brew
