You read that headline correctly. This week across the province a whopping FOUR new craft breweries opened for business, bringing the total number of new breweries open this month to seven. As far as we can tell, that makes June 2019 the busiest month for craft brewery openings in B.C. on record. And there looks to be another half dozen open before the summer’s over.
Here’s the lowdown on the new breweries…
