Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors will go to bat for Crannog Ales.
Although the Agricultural Land Commission has not restricted the local, organic brewery, owners Rebecca Kneen and Brian MacIsaac are concerned it is only a matter of time before they either have to expand into barley production and malting or close shop because of new provincial regulations.
Kneen attended a March 23 board meeting to explain Crannog’s dilemma and ask directors for support in fighting the province’s new on-farm regulations which stipulate 50 per cent of beer ingredients must be grown on-farm.
