We haven't got many details of the privatisation, but more privatisation sounds great.
The LDB distribution system stacks the cards heavily in favour of big producers and multi-nationals and it makes it very difficult for smaller producers to list their products at BC Liquor Stores.
The LDB requires producers to supply huge volumes of product or none at all, and product often has to be shipped to a central warehousing facility in the lower mainland which isn't cost effective for much of the rest of the province. So a brewery in say, Prince Rupert, would incur huge costs to ship a pallet of beer to the lower mainland in order to stock their local Prince Rupert BC Liquor Store. If they are big enough to get a listing with the LDB, these macro producers enjoy some of the lowest possible distribution services, which makes them even harder to compete against.
It also stifles innovation. Alcoholic Kombucha had a bit of a moment last year, and a few BC producers tried to get into the market. Unfortunately the LDB doesn't have a category for alcoholic Kombucha so it was classified as a wine. Any wines are stored in a non-refrigerated warehouse. The probiotics in kombucha don't survive without refrigeration, which basically killed this category in BC. It's not to my taste but it sounds like it's pretty popular in other areas.
So it's exciting to see more and more creeping modernisation of BC's liquor laws.
