A Cape Breton brewery on Keltic Drive in Sydney known for its Angus family of IPAs (Black Angus IPA with Chinook, Centennial, Cascade and Citra hops, plus Lazy, Hazy, Tiny, Crazy and Giant Angus), Red Coat Irish Red Ale, Breton Light Lager and seasonals such as an Oktoberfest Export Lager, sold in 473 ml cans, 355 ml six- and 12-packs, growlers and kegs.
Breton Brewing's packaged beer (HTS 2203.00.00, "Beer made from malt") can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty that applied from August 22, 2026. We found no public statement from the brewery about US sales; its own history names Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador as its markets.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
