Ontario MPP Gives Props To OCB Breweries At Queen's Park

I was just sent a link to the video that appears below and I thought it was worthy of a post.

The video features Ontario MPP Helena Jaczek, who gives a shout out to the Ontario Craft Brewers, informs her colleagues of the upcoming OCB Beer Week and urges sitting MPP's to explore the beers produced in Ontario.

Jaczek, who represents the riding of Oak Ridges-Markham, which includes King Brewery, made sure to give King a good plug in her speech, including a nice mention of the brewery's most recent gold medal win at the 2010 Canadian Brewing Awards.

It's always nice to see and hear our politicians talking the positive 'good beer talk', which seems to be happening more and more these days. Election year it may be, but I think the tide is actually starting to turn at Queen's Park. Our elected officials are slowly starting to recognize the craft beer movement taking place in Ontario and are taking the time to understand it.
