A Dartmouth brewery making unfiltered, unpasteurized beer in cans, including Dirty Blonde (a North American-style weizen brewed with Canadian wheat and barley, now in 12-packs), Frig Off and Little Frigger hazy IPAs, Fathom double IPA, O'Hearn's Irish Red, Jake's Easy Lager and Juice Beast IPA, plus a Nine Locks Spirit Co. line of canned vodka sodas and Little Pucker spiked lemonades.
Nine Locks' 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.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
