PRINCE GEORGE – The ongoing picketing of all government-operated liquor stores by the BC General Employees’ Union continues to impact brewers’ ability to get their products to market. Nevertheless, small local alcohol producers are continuing to make deliveries to their customers.
Nestled along the banks of the Neckako River, Northern Lights Estate Winery, this establishment proudly holds the title of the northernmost winery in British Columbia. Despite the ongoing strike, they have managed to keep their wines available for purchase by utilizing alternative channels to bring their products to market.
“ So one of the great things for the private liquor store system is that they can still access BC products, so that they can access most beer. They can access BC wines from land-based wineries like u.s”
