Do y'all make good wine? Or do you just import it from Chile instead of California?
There’s many countries that produce wine, skipping on the US’s contribution is hardly a blip on the radar.
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

Good job Canada! Keep it up. Boycott more US products / services. Thank you,
-an American
You do you.
Source: US Citizen.
Also fuck the US.
Will booze be cheaper for America now?
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
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.
We just need to re invest into malting and making extracts as the only one in NA is in Ohio... Because an American bought up our facilities and moved them across the border
We need a good replacement for bourbon though. No canadian whisky is a drop-in replacement
If it makes y'all feel any better, it was legally pretty difficult to brew any kind of distilled liquor in the US following Prohibition until, like, 2010. America's iconic alcohol products tend to be produced in places where there has been a traditional carve-out — at least on the East Coast, blue laws reign supreme.
Y'all have an entire Canada to make cannabis and liquor in. You have a real head start compared to us; you will find a way to replace American Whiskey, rum, gin, or beer in no time flat. Could be time for Canada to enjoy a Renaissance of importing foreign and exotic liquors, like soju or araqi.
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.
Can you be more specific on those gins? You have my attention.
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!
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….
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.
Helps that Kurzgesagt just came out with a video all about how there's no amount of daily alcohol intake that's not bad for you.
It turns out that all of those "studies" saying that a glass of wine or a glass of beer a day is actually healthy for you was all bullshit.
Of course. A diminishing domestic market combined with a completely obliterated export market. What a combo.
Get fucked yanks. 🖕🖕🖕
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.
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.
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.
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….
It's literally toxic.
Good! Let them reel..
Yeah buddy!
Hell yeah!
