Ottawa's go-to craft beer tour guide, Brew Donkey, has resumed operations.

On Tuesday, the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) said effective immediately Brew Donkey can resume full operations while the two sides work on the company becoming "compliant" with the Travel Industry Act.

This also means Brew Donkey won't be offering their craft brewery tours -- normally priced around $85 -- free of charge.

While it may be a bummer to those wanting free beer, it's a positive sign to owner Brad Campeau who worried the standstill would pour Brew Donkey down the drain.

"We feel encouraged following our meeting" said Campeau. "Although we were not able to resolve the matter today, we are hopeful that we will be able to find a reasonable and compliant solution that satisfies both parties".

Campeau met with TICO president and CEO Richard Smart and vice-president of operations Dorian Werda at Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi's office on Monday.

In the meantime, Brew Donkey will offer a $15 discount until June 18 to show love to their supporters.

The company's also still asking for financial pledges to counterbalance the loss of income and legal expenses with their Indiegogo campaign until June 18.

Fifteen thousand or 34% of their goal has been met, however Brew Donkey said their current loses "far exceed this amount".
