“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!

At the risk of being downvoted, I think the beer quality is pretty similar on both sides of the border, except in what we call the Pacific Northwest, in a greater sense - Cascadia, if you will.

I’m not saying good beer doesn’t exist other places, but in my book, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon form a sort of fantastic microbrew continuum, an example where regional culture transcends the national borders.

A beer from Vancouver or Victoria is comparable in quality to Seattle or Portland, but they collectively wallop most breweries in the other parts of both our countries. These places have a much more developed beer culture, too. Hanging out at microbreweries is so much more of a thing in that region.
