Beer sales in our province are rather flat.
The Brewers Association of Canada says Alberta took one of the hardest hits among the provinces in terms of beer sales between September 2008 and 2009.
That’s not a surprise to one Calgary pub owner.
Blair Houston tells The Calgary Sun, the cost of draught shot up 50 per cent over the last year, forcing bars to charge more for a pint.
Houston says he’s shocked that more places haven’t gone under.
