It creates uncertainty for the business … in terms of where you're going to invest inSource: cbc.ca, Feb 25, 2025
Little Brown Jug'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. In February 2025, founder Kevin Selch told CBC News he had been looking at expanding into the Minnesota and Wisconsin markets that year, "but that's definitely on hold for now"; he said he would look to grow across Canada instead.
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.
