The federal alcohol excise tax goes up today, about 2% across beer, wine, and spirits Canada-wide. 🍺🍷

It's the end of a two-year cap that was holding the increase at bay.The cost per unit is modest, but on top of everything else operators are dealing with right now, it adds up.

World Cup is 11 weeks out and the LCRB application deadline is March 31.

The province said no to blanket extended hours, so every operator has to apply individually. That means if you want to extend service hours, open a patio, or apply for a drink price exemption during the tournament, you need to get your application into the LCRB portal before the end of this month.

If you haven't started, it's not too late. Reach out to us today!

Kamloops is bringing back its responsible liquor pilot for a full season (May 15 to October 1). Last year's data showed a 25% drop in park incidents during the pilot. More than a dozen BC municipalities are now running similar programs. This is exactly the kind of policy modernization we lobby for. Good to see it happening.

The BC LDB is allowing eligible manufacturers to direct deliver packaged refreshment beverages to wholesale customers. Breweries, distilleries, and wineries authorized to produce these products will have the option to bypass LDB distribution. It's a step in the right direction and we hope they extend it to all manufacturers next.

Rising Tide Consultants at NGCOA Spring Warm-Up! ⛳

We had such a great time at the NGCOA Spring Warm-Up on March 9 at Tsawwassen Springs Golf Club!

We couldn’t agree more with Ian Tostenson, President & CEO of the BC Restaurant & Foodservices Association (BCRFA), on his insights into the current state of BC’s restaurant industry. His talk sparked some really interesting, and much-needed, conversations.

We are always delighted to connect with golf course operators. The Spring Warm-Up was the perfect mix of learning, networking, and exploring new opportunities.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. We can’t wait to keep these conversations going!

Stop putting it off, call us today!
