No craft beer: City shuts out local brewers from new Mosaic
Craft beer won’t be featured at the new Mosaic Stadium, despite months of negotiations with producers.
The city confirmed Wednesday no agreement had been reached with the Saskatchewan Craft Brewers Association (SCBA) to include local craft beer at the stadium.
In a joint statement with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the city said while it owns the stadium, it granted sponsorship rights – including exclusive pouring rights – to the Riders in 2013 as part of its lease agreement.
The statement said two options were presented last month which would’ve allowed Saskatchewan-made craft beer to be poured at major events at Mosaic Stadium, including Rider games, but said the SCBA decided not to move forward with either option.
