VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A small but high-profile local brewery is being sold to one of the world's largest beermakers. Granville Island Brewing is being bought by Molson Coors from Andrew Peller Ltd., where it was the only beer among seven wine labels. Both companies are publicly traded but are not revealing the price of the deal, which they expect to complete early next year.

Molson Coors craft-beermaker, Ontario-based Creemore Springs says the takeover will allow it and Vancouver-based Granville Island to offer their brands "to more markets in Canada, while continuing to maintain their distinct positions in BC and Ontario".

So much for one of Vancouver's original "Microbreweries".

There's WAY better local beers out there though...

the beer better not change too much.

they did make some pretty awesome microbrews, aka octoberfest winter wheat ale

you can only get so big on your own, probably got a nice price for it

yeah i hope they still make same old tasting beer

I love their seasonal beers!

Winter Ale is pretty damn good, I remember going on their brewery tour instead of attending a group meeting, fun time
You get to go beer tasting after
