Help make 2012 the year of craft beer by supporting your local Canadian breweries. Buying local helps your hometown and neighbours while boosting the local economy. When you buy local Canadian beers, you're contributing to the craft movement as a whole and helping the local beer scene prosper. This offers variety and quality while promoting interest in the local brewing scene, both with consumers and bar owners. As a result, you are more likely to be able to enjoy a quality fresh local brew on the shelves and on tap at your favourite bars and restaurants.

Take a look some of our suggestions for Craft Beer Resolutions as you start the new year. Whether it's introducing someone to a craft beer, visiting your local bar or attending a beer festival, you can play a part.
