Well here we sit in 2013 and barely a month into the year we get some big news from the liquor licensing branch. manufacturers can own pubs and restaurants and pubs and restaurants can own breweries wineries or distilleries. Here's the but, you can only produce a certain amount of each product when you apply and you can only associate with up to 3 establishments. It is going to be fun to watch how this new boondoggle gets sorted out! Good for breweries however is the new provision to have lounges, patios and function areas. Again with the but, you can only serve the products made on site so you still can't get a beer at a winery or a wine at a brewery. This seems to be destined to change what if you own a brewery and a winery on the same property? Maybe I am just a bit cynical of governments ability to draft policy in a single step it usually takes a few tries before they get it right
