Four months after Premier Doug Ford delivered on his campaign promise to bring back “buck a beer”, the only brewery still offering the option appears to be one in his west Toronto neighbourhood.
When Ford announced incentives for companies selling beer at one dollar for a bottle or can last August, two breweries took him up on the offer — Cool Brewery in Toronto and Barley Days Brewery in Prince Edward County.
Loblaws also offered its President’s Choice beer for a dollar a bottle for a limited time.
But now the Liquor Control Board of Ontario says the Barley Days Brewery beer that had been available for a dollar — plus the 10-cent deposit — has raised its price to $1.65.
