Local Brewery Expresses Concern Over Limited Options at Liquor Marts
A popular local brewery in Winnipeg has raised concerns over the limited selection of their products at liquor marts in the city. The brewery, which has been in operation for over a decade, has expressed their frustration with the lack of options available to customers at these retail locations.
In an interview with CTV News, the owner of the brewery stated, “We’re finding it challenging to have our products readily available for our customers at liquor marts. It’s disheartening to see our loyal customers unable to find our products on the shelves.”
The brewery, known for its unique and high-quality craft beers, has been a staple in the local community and has gained a strong following over the years. However, their products are only available at a limited number of liquor marts in the city, making it difficult for customers to access them.
The owner also expressed concern over the impact this limited availability has on their business. “It’s not just about our customers not being able to find our products, it also affects our sales and revenue. We rely on these retail locations to reach a wider audience and promote our brand,” they stated.
The Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA) has responded to these concerns, stating that they are aware of the issue and are working towards finding a solution. In a statement to CTV News, the LGCA said, “We understand the importance of supporting local businesses and we are actively working with the brewery to address their concerns and improve the availability of their products at liquor marts.”
The limited selection of local craft beers at liquor marts has been an ongoing issue in Manitoba, with many breweries facing similar challenges. The LGCA has stated that they are committed to working with local businesses to ensure a diverse and inclusive selection of products at retail locations.
In the meantime, the brewery is encouraging their customers to visit their taproom and retail store, where their full range of products is available. They also urge customers to continue supporting local businesses during these challenging times.
As the demand for craft beer continues to grow in Winnipeg, it is crucial for retail locations to offer a diverse selection of products, including those from local breweries. The brewery hopes that their concerns will be addressed soon, and their products will be more readily available for their customers at liquor marts across the city.
