Split Rail brews small-batch beer on Manitoulin Island: its signature Hawberry Ale made with hand-picked Manitoulin hawberries, Amber Ale, Copper Lager, Gore Bay IPA, LoonSong Oats Stout and Manitoulin Gold Pilsner in 473 ml cans, alongside non-alcoholic sodas and seltzers.
Split Rail'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 Split Rail about US sales; its stockists are in northern Ontario.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.
