Jason Kenney showing up at a craft brewery claiming he supports the industry is laughably hypocritical.

Kenney's track record on craft beer:

- Opposed the NDP's Small Brewer Development Program, which more than quadrupled the size of the industry in four years 1/ #ableg #abbeer
- Cancelled targeted grants & tax credits for brewers/distillers along with other successful innovation programs

- Changed liquor markups to benefit big brewers over small brewers, just bc long-term donors Big Rock had a rough quarter 2/ #ableg #abbeer

- Pushed through a $4.7b tax giveaway that shovels $$$ to megacorps like Labatt & Molson, while doing absolutely nothing to support Abns with capital to start their own breweries.

Kenney is no friend to #ABBeer. Don't host him at your taproom. 3/3 #ableg
Another perspective: Breweries similar to Troubled Monk would *not exist* in many communities across our Province had Kenney been in charge of economic development and liquor policy in 2015-2019. #ableg #abbeer
