TORONTO, ON – Ontario’s government-owned liquor distribution and retail agency, the LCBO, has announced its financial results for the 2012-13 fiscal year, and Ontario craft beer sales have once again shown the highest sales growth of all product segments at the retailer.
While the 33% growth seen in the local craft beer sales isn’t as high as in the past several years – including a record setting 55% increase in 2010-11 – it is still much higher than the increase seen in other segments, and also trends ahead of the 3.9% growth in overall beer sales.
More details on the LCBO’s year-end sales results are available in the press release posted to the LCBO Media Centre.
