“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.
They still have active breweries in four provinces.
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.
Hell yeah!
Good! Let them reel…
Get fucked yanks. 🖕🖕🖕
Keep up the good work!
Boycott us harder Maple Daddy.
GOBBLESS YA SON
Do y’all make good wine? Or do you just import it from Chile instead of California?
Whites are OK but not great. Reds are bleh, not enough sun.
Okanagon wine, lots of sun and desert heat
And most of those wineries will tell you they aren’t great reds. Been doing wine buying trips in the Okanagan for 30 years when there was maybe 6 wineries.
It depends. Kelowna is a bit north for reds so you’ll get your pinot, gamay, zweitgelt, etc and they’re decent. I find the only good merlot, syrah, foch, even tempranillo, fuller body stuff is mostly Similkameen Valley and south near the border. I’d say there’s definitely solid red options but they come at a price. Chilean or even French equivalents for less.
The Niagara region in ON and Okanagan region in BC produce some good stuff, or so I’m told. More a beer and whiskey guy myself.
Canada makes really lovely wines. Vancouver Island especially has some of my favourites (also because I live here haha).
Ontario and BC wine is okay. I prefer white and I find the whites to be rather nice; I can’t really speak to reds, though I had a nice Ontario Merlot a few years ago. Can’t remember the name, unfortunately.
There’s so much wine outside of the US and Canada though. Chilean wine has pleasantly surprised me lately, like you say. I also like a lot of the stuff coming out of Australia. You may be able to tell I’m on a budget, lol.
There’s many countries that produce wine, skipping on the US’s contribution is hardly a blip on the radar.
Nothing of value will be lost.
Wasn’t there some c suite recently saying exports to Canada are equivalent to a rounding error in terms of volume? Where’s that guy? How’s he doing?
I believe he got off scot-free which is part of the C-suite job description, zero accountability unless there’s credit to be taken
HA

Will booze be cheaper for America now?
They’ll probably still import Alberta barley which is some of the best malt-quality barley in the world. So they’ll probably be tariffing that.
They need to recover costs so now they’ll have to pump the local population for more. And they can so they will.
Yeah, that whole thing about supply/demand curves that you learned on day one econ 101? Yeah, that’s bullshit.
In capitalism, they control the supply, so you pay what they demand. It’s that simple. Markets do not in fact regulate themselves, and never have.
Nope, prices went up. A $40 bottle of whiskey a few months ago is going for $45.
Yeah it was pretty eye-popping to see a bottle of Jameson’s costing almost $40 in the last couple of years.
Not a chance, it was already artificially inflated because they know they can get away with it
Good job Canada! Keep it up. Boycott more US products / services. Thank you,
