The fight against the Beer Store\u2019s monopoly on retail beer has been long and Mr. Ford, throwing fistfuls of cash at the problem has entered the fray with all the subtlety and tact of the Kool-Aid Man crashing through the kitchen wall to surprise some thirsty tweens. \u201cOhhh yeah, folks!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to figures released by the Financial Accountability Office on Jan 27<sup>th<\/sup>, in addition to the $225 million in public dollars Douggie paid to the owners or The Beer Store, accelerating liberalized beer sales in the province will result in $172 million in lower net income to the LCBO, an $812 million decline in LCBO retail revenue, a $192 million cost to give wholesale discounts to new retailers, $150 million in service rebates to brewers, $105 million in higher operating expenses, and $22 million in higher recycling fees. Also, presumably, will lead to human sacrifice, and dogs and cats living together.<\/p>\n<p>If a Liberal government had had the gall to \u201csolve\u201d the Beer Store monopoly the way Doug Ford did, the <em>Toronto Sun<\/em> would need to bring in cases of Gatorade and Astroglide to sustain the likes of Brian Lilley, Joe Wormington, et. al. as they shat out column after factually-dubious column screeching for blood.<\/p>\n<p>Electoral success and financial ruin notwithstanding, there is one element of this \u201cprogress\u201d that has become abundantly clear, at least to me, and it\u2019s that convenience store beer will almost certainly hasten the already impending death of many Ontario craft breweries.<\/p>\n<p>Because in a market where the biggest, baddest breweries have had an unprecedented monopoly for roughly 100 years, the solution to the issue of restricted alcohol sales should never have been to \u201ccreate new opportunities for everyone.\u201d Our system was, of course, begging for someone to create new opportunities for the local guys to catch up. This ain\u2019t it.<\/p>\n<p>Beer in Ontario is a crowded market. Most would agree we had a long and healthy boom. But it\u2019s hard to deny, as breweries buy each other up, fold, and go on fucking Dragon\u2019s Den with half-baked schemes to swindle suckers into buying into a losing business, that the boom is definitely over. Rents are going up, people are drinking less, the cost of every god damn thing on the planet is rising and so people aren\u2019t dining out as much \u2013 and Doug Ford\u2019s solution to helping this struggling industry is to license 4,187 new stores to sell competitive products all around the province.<\/p>\n<p>Craft breweries \u2013 many of whom enjoyed status as \u201cthe place to get beer in this neighbourhood\u201d \u2013 are flailing and throwing trivia nights, live music, food truck collaborations and any marketing trick in the book to get butts into seats and sell some cans of beer. And then overnight they find themselves competing with literally every gas station and convenience store in the province. How many millennials\/Gen Zers (pick the generation you want to blame for all the bad things) do you know that are going to put on hard pants and make an appearance at their local taproom for a pint and six pack to go when they can now stay in sweatpants and for less money than an Uber, schlepp off to the Circle K for some shitty macro beer, a vape pen refill, and a taquito?<\/p>\n<p>And for those of you screaming that convenience stores off new opportunities for craft brewers too, allow me to explain via Convoluted Metaphor why this isn\u2019t really helpful:<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a dog kennel with three huge, mean dogs and a handful of little dogs all in the same yard.<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of argument, let\u2019s say one of the big dogs is a Belgian Malinois with Brazilian upbringing. Another one is an Akita Inu, an aggressive large breed from Japan, and the other dog is Molson-Coors. The sad little dogs in the yard wear flannel and they make kettle sours and they suck at digital marketing. These little fuckers are starving. That\u2019s because the big dogs get to eat first and when there is some food available to all, the big dogs tend to muscle their way into eating all or most of that. In fact, the big dogs even have a special food dish that only they are allowed to eat from.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone can see this shitty kennel is unfair to the little dogs. They can\u2019t last much longer. Their beards are getting stringy. Their little dog Blundstones have holes in the soles. Now along comes Kennel Worker Doug. He has a solution: He throws a bunch more kibble over the fence into the yard and then hosts a press conference to say, \u201cAll the dogs in the kennel now have an equal opportunity for more food!\u201d The other kennel workers applaud his efforts and the Malinois starts humping his leg.<\/p>\n<p>This is what beer in convenience stores is doing: We\u2019re just giving more to the big dogs. Sure, some of the medium-sized dogs will get a few bites, but for the most part, the little dogs are going to stay hungry \u2014 and some of them are going to die.<\/p>\n<p>So remember this, not just the next time you go out to buy beer, but also as you watch Mr. Ford make a big show of pulling Kentucky Bourbon and California wines from LCBO shelves in a boisterous, blond bully dick measuring contest: His last big policy announcement really just gave more shelf space to the big, foreign-owned breweries actively working to stifle the growth of Ontario companies.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared in the February 2025 edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/SpentGrains?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaa8X9KnQKt_JXl_R_NCKSL1FLYseiHZ7hSSMHtpWGdZTwACP_ciNRCdEdE_aem_lSwBk00tsSZ7oNq96sX2WQ\">Spent Grains<\/a>, \u201ca little zine about beer and stuff in Toronto.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s tough to say if Doug Ford\u2019s efforts to accelerate getting beer into Ontario convenience stores will help or hurt his chances in the pointless, expensive election he has just called.
