On tonight's episode: Why the provincial budget was sweet news for Ontario's craft cider producers.
For years, craft cider makers have been lobbying the province, arguing that they don't get the same tax treatment as craft breweries.
But that all changed last week, when the Ford government's latest budget included some big news for the industry.
Starting on August 1, the government will harmonize the taxes levied on craft cider with those levied on craft beer, which means the markup on cider at the LCBO will be reduced from 60.6 per cent to 32 per cent.
