Ontario beer halls boom amid brewery strike continues
Ontario liquor stores sold out imported beer as LCBO stock held for weeks. Hotels reported booming business on the weekend as a province wide strike by about 2,700 brewery workers and warehousemen slowed production and distribution. Walkerton residents stocked up at the Formosa Spring Brewery and union talks faced a brewing deadlock. The walkout began at Molson Ontario and spread to Brewers Warehousing and other major brewers including Labatt, Carling and Canadian Breweries.
