Canadian Beer:
A Beverage Like No Other

Canadian beer’s significance extends well beyond its role as a thirst-satisfying beverage; it has become a symbol of unity and community. From local pubs to backyard barbecues, the shared experience of enjoying a cold Canadian beer brings people together, fostering connections and creating lasting memories.
Beer is a truly Canadian industry with 88% of all beer consumed in Canada made here by Canadian workers in Canadian plants from Canadian water, malted barley and other grains.

Canadian brewers also prioritize local purchases whenever possible. In fact, a recent study showed that 84% of the value of all the inputs used to brew Canadian Beer is bought from fellow Canadian businesses, workers and farmers. This Canadian Beer Day 2025 let’s raise our glass to the spirit of community that Canadian beer embodies.

Canadian beer is available in more styles than ever, including new, lower or no-alcohol options, making it easy to find one that’s right for each of us.

There’s a Canadian Beer perfect for any occasion.

Cheers to the moments that bring us together and to the beer that we share!
