The Liquor Control and Licensing Act currently permits a Tied House arrangement between a liquor manufacturer – brewery, winery, or distillery – and a maximum of three of its own offsite establishments. For example: A brewery can sell its products into a maximum of three licensed establishments that are under the same ownership as the brewery.
We feel that this is an issue the government should revisit. We believe they should remove the current maximum of three establishments, as it is unlikely any on-premise consumption establishments would want to sell product from only one manufacturer. But we want to hear from you. Is this a policy you would like to see changed?
