  • Implement the BC Craft Brewers Guild's proposed revenue-neutral beer markup reforms to lower rates for small breweries and raise rates for large producers

    "Implement the BC Craft Brewers Guild's proposed revenue-neutral beer markup reforms, lowering rates for small breweries, introducing more gradual increases as they grow, and raising rates for the largest producers. The Guild estimates its proposal would save BC craft breweries $16.3 million annually to reinvest in their businesses and employees." — bcgreens.ca, retrieved 2026-10-23

  • Add dedicated craft cider sections to BC Liquor Stores, next to craft beer
