The trick to supporting local breweries is to support local breweries. Everywhere I’ve lived in Canada I’ve bought beer from my local guys, often directly from their door, despite many beers from across the country and around the world being available at the liquor store.

But these “local breweries” in the article are Molson-Coors and Labatt. The first is now American-owned and the second is the largest brewing company in Canada. I think they will be just fine.
