Breaking into the brewery business takes a lot of time and a lot of money. But that hasn’t stopped the more than 2,500 independent breweries to eat away at the market share of mass-produced beer year after year. Big Beer has responded by gobbling up craft breweries or launching crafty brands themselves.
Since Coors launched Blue Moon in 1995, many more big breweries have dipped their toes into the micro waters. If there’s an upside to Big Beer investing in craft breweries, it’s that some good beers have received wider distribution than they might otherwise. Goose Island is probably the best example.
Blue Moon
The original crafty beer distributed to the masses was this fruity wheat beer. It’s served as a gateway craft beer for people that have had limited knowledge and taste in the subject. But as it’s now owned by MillerCoors, it was never really a true, independent craft beer in the first place. Just a decent, tasty gateway drug.

Several days ago the provincial government implemented its Happy Hour policies, making B.C. the last province to introduce liquor discounts at bars, pubs and restaurants during certain hours of the day.
However, the new mandated minimum pricing for drinks are now the highest amongst the Canadian provinces – and these prices are effective during all hours of the day, not just during Happy Hour.
According to a provincial government news release, “the introduction of minimum drink pricing is intended to prevent aggressive pricing strategies that may lead to intoxication.”
Happy Hour is meant to provide both businesses and consumers with flexible pricing options, but the latest pricing stipulations seem to have completely defeated the original purpose of the reformed law.
