In 2013, the BC Provincial Government established 2 categories of distilleries in BC: “Commercial” and “Craft”. To achieve the Craft designation, a BC distillery must produce no more than 50,000 litres of spirit per year. (a large distillery can produce 2 to 3 times this per day), the distillery must use 100% BC agricultural products to produce the alcohol from fermentation and fermentation must be completed onsite at the Distillery. While this will force Distillers that want to take advantage of the “Craft” designation to be creative and innovative in their search for raw materials around BC, it will also ensure that Craft has a strong meaning among BC Craft distilleries and it helps support BC’s diverse agriculture industry.
