The authority said that the change came after the concerns raised by the industrial groups.

“As a result, Saskatchewan re -corresponded to other provinces by focusing on the US -producing alcohol,” said in a statement. Selling and distributing 54 American Canadian brands will resume.

This transition to the beer ban, which was announced last week, captured criticism from industry and other groups.

Here is what you need to know about the decision.

Why did the boycott of American brands?

Saskatchewan announced the removal of American alcohol from wine stores as part of the identification response plan in early March.

At the time, the boycott government said that SLGA will stop buying American products. He said it was still possible to sell the products that were already purchased.

Healy said that the beer brands represent 45 to 50 percent of the total beer size sold in Saskatchewan, an amount that would cause the effects of distributors and retail dealers.

He said, “The effects will affect a kind of consequently,” he said.

What did the beer makers say about the original decision?

Haley represents a group of beer manufacturers – from large multinationals, to regional beer manufacturers, to small beer factories – and said that the SLGA move that caught the organization.

He said: “We were shocked, to be honest.”

This is because the affected beer was fermented in Canada in facilities throughout the country.

“Canadian beer factories are proud to be a real Canadian industry, as it was started

Cody Glenn, the current president of Sask. Barley said that the organization was on the same page as Beer Canada regarding the original SLGA decision. He said that the farmers would have felt the effect if the decision was not reversed.

He said: “The biggest blow to barley is the SLGA decision to withdraw all these brands from the shelves.”

Glenn said that if the SLGA ban remained in place, the barley would have decreased by 141,000 metric tons.

Sask. Barley President said the largest barley farms market is the local market, followed by the United States and China.

How did the Saskatchewan policy differ from other provinces?

In the face of the proposed American definitions of Canadian imports, many provinces took revenge on the removal of American alcohol from store shelves.

But Haley said that Saskatchewan’s policy was in a flagrant contradiction with those in other provinces, such as Ontario and British Columbia. In these provinces, governments targeted their policies so as not to affect companies in local operations.

He said: “These were all brands and products made in the United States in American plants.”
