Christine Comeau - Canadian Craft Brewers Association

In this episode, we sit down with Christine Comeau, the Executive Director of the Canadian Craft Brewers Association (CCBA) - the voice of Canadian craft beer. Representing nearly 1,200 small and independent craft breweries, brewpubs, and supplier partners across the country, the CCBA plays a pivotal role behind the scenes here in the country. 
Join us as we delve into Christine's insights on some of the most pressing topics for Canadian craft brewers: the recent federal beer excise tax victory, the GST/HST federal Tax Holiday and its impact on the industry, her experience representing all New Brunswick alcohol producers, low-risk drinking guidelines, "poison" label requirements, and her excitement surrounding the Canada Beer Cup. 

With experience in marketing, brand strategy, and leadership, Christine has had an impressive career, including roles as the Executive Director of Craft Alcohol NB and Marketing Director at Moosehead Breweries (rumour has it she was Andrew Oland’s boss back then!). 

YEE-HAW! The man in the white lab coat is back and ready to WRANGLE some yeast. GLB’s Quality Assurance Lab Supervisor, Cole Raiskums, returns to take you on one adventurous ride into the world of yeast.
