While shopping for your favourite wine or liquor at the LCBO, now you can get 12-packs of beer.

The province is updating the way beer is sold in the province and the LCBO on Marcus Drive is one of only ten stores in Ontario taking part in the pilot project.

Sudbury M-P-P Glenn Thibeault says there are a number of announcements to be made in the coming weeks as the government makes the first real changes to beverage alcohol retailing since the end of prohibition.

Thibeault says it’s all about providing more choice and more convenience asked for by consumers.

Thibeault says craft brewers can expect some more good news in the very near future in the form of improving market access.
