The U.S. Alcohol Industry Is Reeling From Canada’s Booze Boycott
-
“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!
Funny… another headline today was about 53% of adults no longer drinking and thinking alcohol is bad for you.
I guess the two go hand in hand….

Half out of the country is only PART Canadian.
I wonder if Miracle Max can do anything about that….

Canada’s got great local craft brewries and distilleries all over the place. We do not need American stuff, and at least on the beer front the Canadian-brewed stuff’s just plain better tasting.

and thinking alcohol is bad for you.
I mean there is a strong scientific consensus on that.
I can also recommend everyone to say goodbye to alcohol. Alcohol free beers can be quite good nowadays. The only taste i miss sometimes is a Whiskey where you can taste the smokiness but it isn’t too strong yet. Still not worth the negative health effects.

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

Will booze be cheaper for America now?

Of course. A diminishing domestic market combined with a completely obliterated export market. What a combo.

If only there weren’t so many maple-washed. eg. I bet some Canadians think Molson Canadian is Canadian.
Moosehead is the only fully Canadian major brewery left, to my knowledge.
Everything else is owned by either Molson-Coors, Sapporo or InBev.

We need a good replacement for bourbon though. No canadian whisky is a drop-in replacement
Edit: i know other styles of whisky exist. I’ve tried a lot of them. Nothing out there currently is close to bourbon. Not even the right type of grain to start with.
It’s like asking for a champagne replacement and people suggesting red wines instead of other types of sparkling white wine (of which many exist)

They still have active breweries in four provinces.

You won’t find “american bourbon taste” exactly… But just like you wont find Scotch taste exactly.
They’re different things, and learning to appreciate the good things in that diversity of style will only help you be happier in life… I love rye, it’s not the same as canadian whiskey, irish whiskey or scotch whisky, but itnhas its place in my cupboard. I’m sure you can find a good Indian or Japanese bourbon-copy whiskey!

Not a chance, it was already artificially inflated because they know they can get away with it

Nope, prices went up. A $40 bottle of whiskey a few months ago is going for $45.

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?
-

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.

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

I got the opportunity to try this limited run from Compass recently, and it’s fantastic. Unfortunately, sold out already and they’re not currently making more, but they damn well should.
In general though, I found myself switching to Canadian whiskey in my cocktails a while ago. Canadian Club is still dog-ass and you shouldn’t touch the stuff, but that doesn’t mean other distillers haven’t been upping their game. Dillons has a really nice whiskey out now, to complement their selection of - and I am 100% not exaggerating here - the best god damn gins ever made, and the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye deserves all the awards it was showered with. There’s also the Alberta Premium Cask Strength which everyone has been raving about. I’ve tried the regular Alberta Premium and it really is excellent. I imagine the cask strength is even better.
