“Our ability to grow revenue as we have continued to navigate the lock-down conditions throughout the first half of 2021 has been a great win for the organization,” said President & CEO Wayne Arsenault. “We are very happy with how our White Peaks product has been received in the market since the launch earlier this year, and we look forward to continuing our tradition of innovation. With the Etobicoke transaction completed, we are now better enabled to focus on our core business while continuing to service the Greater Toronto and area markets via our Liberty Commons location. As health restrictions continue to ease in our core markets, we are looking forward to serving our consumers on-premises and benefitting from the stronger margins that come from kegs versus retail packaging. The strategic 2021 capital plan remains on-plan and on-budget and we are excited to continue to grow our capabilities as both an independent brewer and a co-pack partner,” said Arsenault.
