Collaboration beers seem to be everywhere these days.   There are many draws for both breweries and consumers.  So let’s start with why the breweries have taken to the practice so eagerly, in non-exhaustive list format, in no particular order: 1.  The craft beer community is just that, it’s a community.  Breweries aren’t in competition with each other, they consider themselves all part of a brewing community that cares about and shares with each other.  So it’s only natural to want to brew together too. "Beer is, first and foremost, a convivial drink," explains Garrett Oliver, brewmaster at New York's Brooklyn Brewery and editor of The Oxford Companion to Beer. "So we are colleagues, brothers and sisters first, and competitors second." One of the unfathomable parts of craft brewing to other business people is the lack of trade secrets in the industry.  Brewers happily share their recipes with each other, and with home brewers.  When you’re...

my notes from yesterday's beer column on cbc radio's on the coast with stephen quinn: Coralee Oakes, the BC Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction announced last week that as of November 30th government liquor stores will be able to carry up to twelve local craft beers that are non-listed.  Being non-listed means that the products are not otherwise available at the government stores. The new program is timed to coincide with BC Buy Local Week.   Buy Local Week is "an annual celebration of local business to promote the contributions that BC businesses make to our economy and our communities".  Craft breweries definitely fit that bill - they're contributing more and more to local economies and are changing the face of neighbourhoods, so you can't fault the Ministry on their timing! There are currently 102 breweries in the province which qualify as microbreweries by the Province and can take advantage of the initiative.  To be considered...
