Grains on Tap | Episode 4: CJ Hélie

We're back with another episode of Grains on Tap!

This week, we're excited to have CJ Hélie, President of Beer Canada, join us for a conversation that goes beyond just raising a glass. With over 25 years in the Canadian beverage alcohol industry, CJ brings a wealth of experience, representing brewers who purchase more than 300,000 tonnes of Canadian grain annually. From the crucial relationship between Canadian grain farmers and brewers to the impactful advocacy work around the excise tax, CJ shares insights that highlight the deep connection between agriculture and beer.

 

We'll also dive into the importance of Canadian Beer Day, the influence of crop yields on brewing, and the key policies that grain farmers need to keep an eye on.

So, pour yourself a cold one and settle in for an engaging discussion about the intersection of grains, beer, and policy.
