B.C.’s Premier is calling for a major shift in how we shop. 👇

With U.S. tariffs looming, David Eby is urging British Columbians to think twice about what they’re putting in their carts—and to prioritize Canadian-made products.

The province isn’t holding back either. American wine, Florida orange juice, and even Harley Davidsons could be on the chopping block at B.C. retailers. 🚫

It’s all part of a push to fight back against what Eby calls “unjustified tariffs” that would hurt families on both sides of the border.

Would you ditch U.S. goods to support Canadian jobs? 👀 Let us know your take! 🇨🇦

Ontario’s decision to speed up alcohol sales in convenience and big box stores is making headlines. A new report reveals the move will cost the province over $600M—nearly three times more than the government initially projected. 💸

The total cost could hit $1.4B by 2030, factoring in lower tax revenues, LCBO losses, and payments to The Beer Store.

Critics argue this money could have been better spent on healthcare or housing, while the convenience industry celebrates a 15% boost in sales. Supporters claim it’s about offering more choice to consumers.

Alberta, what do you think—would you welcome alcohol in convenience stores here, or do you prefer the current setup? 🍻💭 Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

has “rolled” out something totally unexpected: a face roller designed to chill your skin using a cold beer can. 💁‍♀️🍻

Yep, you read that right! As part of their Super Bowl campaign, the Coors Light Chill Face Roller is being marketed as a way to refresh both your face and your mood—especially on the Monday after the big game.

Would you give this frosty facial a try, or is it a hard pass?

If you’re sold, you can snag one atshop.coorslight.com starting on Jan. 27 at noon ET. Our only ask – send us DM or drop a comment letting us know how it goes. 😂💄

✨ One of Calgary’s iconic q***r bars is gearing up for a comeback! 🏳️‍🌈 , a staple in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community for 28 years (and Calgary’s oldest q***r-owned bar!) had to leave its beloved spot on 10th Avenue SW last July due to building demolition.

Now, they’re preparing to write their next chapter.

Owner Mark Campbell has found a potential new home for what’s lovingly called “The Cheers of Calgary’s Gay Community” and launched a GoFundMe to help cover start-up costs, etc., which has reached its $9000.00 goal.

B.C. wineries and breweries are grappling with the federal GST holiday on alcohol. 🍷🍺 While customers enjoy tax-free purchases, producers still have to remit GST to the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch due to system limitations.

This unexpected cost, paired with the slow winter season, is putting financial strain on small businesses, with some estimating a 10% shortfall.

What’s your take on how this tax break is affecting local producers? 🤔Share your thoughts below! ⬇

🎄 Merry Christmas, craft community! 🍻

From reuniting with our amazing vendors each festival to watching groups of Beerfesters gather year after year to share laughs, stories, and unforgettable pints, this time of year reminds us why we started our festivals in the first place. ❤️

Whether you’re spending the holidays with family, reconnecting with old friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with your favourite brew, here’s to connection, joy, and plenty of delicious memories to come.

Cheers to you, and cheers to another year of amazing craft beer adventures! 🥂✨

With the federal GST holiday now in effect, many Canadians are weighing in on its impact—including how it pertains to alcohol sales. 🍷🍺

Beer and wine with 22% alcohol or less are tax free, whereas spits and mixed drinks only qualify if they’re 7% or lower.

Meanwhile, businesses are approaching the change with caution, anticipating potential logistical hurdles and questioning whether the effort required to implement these changes will pay off in the long run.

What do you think? Is this GST break a meaningful boost or just a small holiday perk? Share your thoughts below! 👇
