Breweries is expanding production and packaging at its Guelph plant so it can
bring back production now done under contract in the United States.
But we, the Ontario taxpayers, are on the hook for yet another corporate welfare bum.
The
expansion by owner Sapporo of Japan will cost $6.61 million for new beer tanks,
upgrading equipment and expanding packaging.
The
Guelph brewery employs about 220 people producing 127.5 million litres of beer per year for 25
brands
The
expansion will take until 2020 and will add 15 jobs.
