Democracy (def.) - a system of governing by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives; control of an organization or group by the majority of its members; the ability to vote on what flavour and style of beer your local brewery will make next! The Grain Bin Brewing Company, located in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada, states right up front that the way consumers are enjoying beer is evolving. Not a fan of the beers available to you at the pub or in the store? No problem. Grain Bin gives their customers an opportunity to log in to their website and vote on how the next batch of their delicious beer will be brewed. Of course, they have an array of flagship beers that are available year round, but their small- batch DEMOCRACY! series is taking Alberta by storm by offering a customizable batch of beer for special occasions, or just to sample one pint at a time. Spotlight on Business Magazine spoke with Grain Bin’s owner and Head Brewer Dalen Landis about their unique production programs and the craft brewing scene in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
