A lake-country brewery whose 2026 line-up includes Lakeside Kolsch, Sultana Gold blonde ale, Forgotten Lake blueberry ale, Channel Marker dry-hopped light lager, Nautical Disaster double IPA and Lago Mexican-style lager, plus Deep 6, a limited bottled Belgian-style beer aged under the ice of Lake of the Woods.
Lake of the Woods 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 from August 22, 2026. We found no source showing it shipped beer from Canada to the US. Its history page says it opened a brewery in Warroad, Minnesota in 2019/2020; that location is not among the breweries its site lists today.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.
