Home brewing in Canada

Sadly the death of interesting, characterful beers throughout history.  On one hand, it’s great to see how brewers are able to produce full-flavored beers with a minimum of ingredients, but it’s a shame that amazing old-timey beers have died out due to taxation.  I feel very fortunate to live where I do, having access to so many great craft beers, and the ability to brew to my own tastes.
