As a poor university student in Manitoba, sometimes I don't have the money to drink any type of alcohol, but just over one year ago a small beer company called "Minhas Creek Craft Brewing Company" which was a company that produced very inexpensive beer to the masses, they were able to do this by outsourcing the beer production to American based beer company Joseph Huber Brewing Co., they sold their beer for under $7/6 pack (after taxes/deposit), which was much cheaper than the cheapest beer at the time. Then a few months later Molson lowered the price of its popular beer Molson Dry, and undercut Minhas Creek (price wise) by approx 4c/6-pack, and then Labatt came in and did the same thing with their Labatt Lucky Lager, after these two companies took over the control of the cheap beer market, Minhas Creek upped the price of their popular beer. But during this period of time, I was glad to be a beer drinker, with the ability to buy beer for so cheap, but after Minhas Creek increased the price of their beer, so did Labatt and Molson, since they had control over the cheap beer market, and now the price of a 6-pack is 30 cents more than it was 2 months earlier.
Now Minhas Creek is back and wants to take over the market again, they are planning to bring their beer price back to what it was a year ago, thus having a more affordable beer than Molson/Labatt do now, the price after it gets set in the beginning of May should be approx $6.90 after taxes, versus $7.25, I'm excited to see this happen again, with a full-on beer war starting up again!
