The AGLC is currently accepting interaction/input from interested parties regarding review and possible revision of Class E licencing.
this would make craft disilleries possible for the first time under provincial law.
current licencing has a minimum production requirement of 250,000 litres of pure alcohol.
formal discussion includes:
reduction of minimum requirement
elimination of minimum requirement
allowance of "Tied Houses" (brewing/distilling with on site sales)
open discussion brought forward by myself and others:
proposal for definition of "Craft Distillery" and creation of licencing for
tax breaks for 80% raw materials used from within province
I invite you to get involved
