Member Statement (6 May 2021)

From Hansard (6 May 2021)

Craft Beer Week

Mr. Jenson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stand today to celebrate Saskatchewan’s Craft Beer Week, May 3rd to 8th.

[Applause]

Mr. Jenson: — Hear, hear! Mr. Speaker, in celebration of this event, the Saskatchewan Craft Brewers Association has launched a collaboration beer called Resilience. This limited product features all Saskatchewan ingredients including our world-class wheat and barley, harvested hops from JGL Shepherd Farms near Moosomin, and donated malted wheat from Prairie Malt in Biggar.

Mr. Speaker, our province has a long-standing history of producing high-quality barley and wheat used in beer around the world. Seeing the Saskatchewan Craft Brewers Association and its members work together by utilizing local ingredients to provide a quality product is a testament to the name it bears. The proceeds from the Resilience beer sale will help local brewers, members of SCBA [Saskatchewan Craft Brewers Association], to expand capacity.

Mr. Speaker, the pandemic forced many industries to adapt and make changes. The craft beer industry was no stranger to that. This current initiative shows their adaptability, spirit of community, and collaboration.

Mr. Speaker, I now ask that all members in the Chamber join me in celebrating Craft Beer Week and thanking the Saskatchewan Craft Brewers Association on a job well done. Cheers.
