I find it interesting that the beer and cocktail articles share a similar conclusion - Ontario's liquor control board is a major cause of the problem. Brewers have to make enough in Ontario to sell to the LCBO or Beer Store (LARGE volume), vs Quebec microbrews just needing to make enough to sell to the corner store. And the LCBO restricts so many interesting and unique liquors that exciting new cocktails can't be explored because the ingredients aren't available.
