‘It’s definitely a huge benefit’: Province increases funding for small Alberta breweries
MEDICINE HAT, AB — It’s one of the fastest growing industries in Alberta and it’s set to receive more money this year from the provincial government.
“The Alberta Small Brewers Development Grant is expanding from $16 million in 2016-2017 to $25 million in 2017-18,” finance minister Joe Ceci announced Wednesday at the first annual Alberta Craft Brewing Convention in Red Deer.
After opening its doors in December the Medicine Hat Brewing Company now has 12 different beers on tap, 10 of which they’re selling in cans.
