The owners for all four of Prescott- Russell’s local craft breweries say they can’t afford to help Premier Doug Ford make good on his election campaign promise of a “buck-a-beer” plan for Ontario’s beer-lovers. Starting August 27, Ford plans to make good on his promise to lower the price of a can or bottle of beer from $1.25 to a EPMMBSPO-$#0TIFMWFT0OUBSJPTCSFXF - ries can choose whether or not they take QBSUJO'PSETOFXQSJDJOHTDIFNFBOEUIF SFTQPOTFTPGBSJTBSFTPVOEJOHi/PuGSPN 0OUBSJPTDSBGUCSFXFSJFT JODMVEJOHUIFGPVS in Prescott-Russell. i*UTDSB[ZuTBJE3JDIBSE.ÊOBSE PXOFS PQFSBUPSPG#SBTTFSJFUJFOOF#SÚMÊ#SFXFSZ in Embrun. “We cannot brew beer for a buck BCFFSu .ÊOBSE OPUFE doubts any craft brewer can afford to go BMPOHXJUI'PSETQMBO UIPVHIUIFCJHDPN - mercial brewers might be able to manage. i*UTHPPENBZCFGPS-BCBUUPS.PMTPO u IFTBJEi#VUJUTOPUGPSVTu i*UTJNQPTTJCMFGPSVTUPQBDLBHFXBUFS BUUIBUQSJDF MFUBMPOFCFFSuTBJE/JDPMBT .BMCPFVGPG5VRVFEF#SPVFJO&NCSVO i5IBUTBCJHA/Pu .BMCPFVGTPQFSBUJPOJTBMSFBEZUBLJOH BIJUGSPN641SFTJEFOU%POBME5SVNQT 20 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum FYQPSUT.PTUBMVNJOVNDBOTTVQQMJFEUP CFFSDPNQBOJFTDPNFGSPNUIF64.BOZ companies rushed to buy up as many cans BTQPTTJCMFCFGPSFUIFUBSJGGUPPLFGGFDU/PX UIFSFTBTIPSUBHF .BMCPFVGOPUFE BOE XIFOUIFOFXDBOTCFDPNFBWBJMBCMFUIFZ will cost more and that will affect production costs. “A can itself costs 25 to 30 cents now, XJUIPVUBOZUIJOHJOJU u.BMCPFVGTBJEi8F EPOULOPXZFUIPXNVDIUIFQSJDFPGBDBO that being an orga- nic brewer is one of his main selling points, so his sup- QMZDPTUTBWFSBHF 30 per cent more than brewers.

Les deux brasseries artisanales d’Embrun ne feront pas partie du plan ‘buck- a-beer’ du premier ministre Doug Ford pour l’Ontario. Richard Ménard de la Brasserie Étienne Brûlé d’Embrun (sur la photo) et Nicolas Malboeuf de Tuque de Broue disent que cela signifierait une énorme perte financière. Les représentants de la brasserie Cassel à Casselman et de la brasserie Beau’s All Natural Brewery à Vankleek Hill sont du même avis. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
