The beer world has gone mad!

Big breweries are buying up independent breweries at an alarming rate. Fighting for market share, they offer contracts to pubs and restaurants…giving them price discounts based on volume but limiting them to selling only the brewery’s products plus a few select imports.

THE BREWERY IS DICTATING WHAT BEER THE PUB OWNER IS “ALLOWED” TO SELL…does anyone else find this unsettling?

As the owner of a freehouse, I’m often asked why I don’t have discount beer…why no $4.00 pint nights Len? Because I don’t get product discounts! I have not signed a contract with any brewery and am free to base my product selections not on contract obligations, but on quality, taste and distinction…it’s all about choice.

There are a number of pure freehouses in Canada that are devoted to choice and offer a variety of quality ales and lagers and are not governed by the dictates of the corporate brewer or buying group.

This website is devoted to creating a directory of these pubs and to showcase the breweries that supply them.

Let’s stand up and fight for good beer!

Who’s with me?
