Description
Book SynopsisWe like beer in Canada. We really, really like it. And it's not just a fly-by-night, sordid little affair. We're in it long term. We spend something like $8 billion a year on beer. From barley growers to label designers, more than 170,000 Canadians owe their fulltime jobs directly or indirectly to beer. The rest of us just do what we can to help.
