Grains on Tap is not your typical policy podcast. We’re opening the doors of Parliament Hill, sitting down with the powerhouses of Canadian agriculture and policymaking. We plan to chat with the movers and shakers in agriculture policy, ranging from Members of Parliament and Senators to government relations professionals, to bring you an inside look into everything happening inside the good old Ottawa bubble. And here’s the twist: we’re doing it over some great craft beer. As we explore agriculture policy, we’ll also be raising a glass to the growers and brewers from across the country.
Whether you’re a fourth-generation farmer, a policymaker navigating the halls of Parliament Hill, or just someone curious about the heartbeat of agriculture in Ottawa, you’re in the right place. So grab your favorite beer, kick back, and let’s cultivate a deeper understanding of the policies that shape our fields—on Grains on Tap.

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.
