A Thunder Bay brewery and taproom pouring beer straight from its brite tanks: a 5% pilsner made with a single locally produced malt, an old-school 6.5% IPA and a 4% light lager, plus rotating beers like a smoked rauchbier, a Belgian tripel and a porter brewed with St. Paul Roastery coffee, with cans to take home.

We have not found a public source on whether Lakehead Beer Company sold beer in the US.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.
