  It’s just part of the vast near-monopoly of the beer market that is AB InBev. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_Street_Brewery

  If you want to boycott them, only buy beer from a small time brewery you know isn’t owned by them.

    I’m just going to plug the brewers association here. Very good site to look up whether a brewery is independent or owned by a big conglomerate like AB InBev or MillerCoors.

      One of our local breweries sold to Lion (an Australian company), which is a subsidiary of Kirin (a Japanese company), back in 2021. That site still says they’re ‘regional’ and they have a stamp that they’re part of the Brewer’s Association.

      So YMMV.

    Yes support us small brewers!

    I brew 50L for $145-155 Cad

  Their brewery was a fun tour, the brew master was fantastic. Pretty good burger too.

  Now it’s bought up by a large conglomerate so while the organic is still nice, there are much better local options available.
