Winnipeg, Manitoba
Fort Garry Brewing is the largest and longest-operating microbrewery in Manitoba. It produces a wide range of beer products and in 2021 expanded and entered the ready-to-drink beverage market.
Today, the Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister responsible for PrairiesCan and Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface-Saint Vital, announced an investment of over $520,000 to Fort Garry Brewing Company. This support through PrairiesCan will allow the company to respond to rising demand and enter new markets as it grows the "Hector's Hard" ready-to-drink product line across Western Canada.
Fort Garry Brewing Company has seen significant uptake in the ready-to-drink product market. To increase their market share, they will scale-up marketing and production by installing an advanced bottle manufacturing and filling line. This will make it possible to capture a greater market share in more provinces. In addition, the project will result in the creation of six (6) new jobs and increased revenues for the company.
This project supports the objectives of the Jobs and Growth Fund, which seeks to generate revenue growth, create jobs, and increase business opportunities for Western Canadian Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
