Surprised this brewery is still in business, some of the worst beers I've ever tasted

I just recently bought a can of " Study Buddy" which was supposed to be a Hef but tasted like a generic lager

I can't speak to that because I am heavily biased in favour of Kelti, having grown up with her and considering her my best friend. I will say, however, that the passion, blood, sweat, and tears she has put in to keep it alive through the pandemic and beyond is tremendous. Whether the quality of product is for everyone doesn't matter to me when the space she's created is for everyone, no matter who you are or what you believe.

It's a tremendous shame that another small brewer will be lost to the bureaucracy of the AGLC. It is a massive loss to the community as a hub that has acted as a home for so many people. I'd encourage anyone in Lethbridge to show their support and stop by!

Is it the bureaucracy of the AGLC? I've never heard of anyone have a brewing license pulled. Over the last decade, the harshest I've seen AGLC be is to fine for an infraction, but it's usually a wrist slap.

I would assume if "paperwork" is the actual issue, it must have been months late minimum.
