Silversmith brews The Black Lager, a 5.0% schwarzbier it calls Canada's most award-winning, alongside a Helles Lager, Pale Ale, Nut Brown Ale, Motueka Pilsner, a wheat beer and the Alter Ego IPA, sold in 473 ml cans and kegs at its two locations and through the LCBO, grocery stores and The Beer Store.
Silversmith'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 Silversmith about US sales; its FAQ lists Ontario outlets only.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.
Made in Canada
Brewed in Ontario: the original brewpub is in a 130-year-old church at 1523 Niagara Stone Road in Virgil, on the edge of Niagara-on-the-Lake, and its core beers are brewed at 75 Horner Ave in Etobicoke, the former Black Oak Brewing plant Silversmith bought in 2022 ("at the Black Oak facility, which will remain operational").
