“The Distilled Spirits Council, an industry group, estimated exports of U.S. distilled spirits to Canada at $43.4 million over the first six months of 2025, down about 62% from the same period in 2024. Exports of American wine were about 67% lower, the group said, citing U.S. trade data.”

Good job, Canada! Keep your elbows up!

If only there weren't so many maple-washed. eg. I bet some Canadians think Molson Canadian is Canadian.

Molson Coors is a Canadian-American company with headquarters in Chicago and Montreal.

For me, that's enough to stay away from it, but it's not a fully American company, so I allow some leeway there.

There is enough really phenomenal beer available from local microbreweries now that I never have to drink Molson ever again. (not that I would ever describe Molson as phenomenal, just that every bar and restaurant carries better stock now.)

Trying beer I've never had before is one of my favorite things to do when I'm in a new city.

Molson also produces at least some of their beer in Canada afaik

They still have breweries in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and BC.

Can confirm the New-West brewery has shut down. They paved that entire district, put up a parking lot (under these great-looking buildings).

The one in Chilliwack is their main factory here I think.

Half out of the country is only PART Canadian.

I wonder if Miracle Max can do anything about that….

Verily it is not Canadian any longer. The jobs are all in Murca. It's brewed in Murca.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They still have active breweries in four provinces.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I get that but it's all labeled 'Proudly Brewed in the U.S. of A.

In my local store, anyway.

Moosehead is the only fully Canadian major brewery left, to my knowledge.

Everything else is owned by either Molson-Coors, Sapporo or InBev.

"major" breweries make garbage beer anyway
