Buck-A-Beer for the long weekend

First Published:

With the long weekend approaching, many people might be looking forward to cracking open a cold beer. Under the Ford government, Ontarians can do this for a little less.
This weekend, there will be a super sale on beer, with seven breweries participating in Ford’s buck-a-beer initiative. But, many beer drinkers aren’t buying it.

Seven breweries are now on board, including Laker Lager, the first to participate in the Premier’s challenge, stating they are pleased to give Ontario beer drinkers the break they deserve.

The opposition says the PCs are shirking other major issues that they say should take priority.

Six packs of beer from the 7 breweries participating will be available at the LCBO for $6 this long weekend, The Beer Store, is not participating.
