The Second Wedge brews a long list of ales and lagers in downtown Uxbridge, led by its year-round 3 Rocks IPA (6%), Elgin Blonde Ale, Monday Night Piper Scottish-style ale, Rain Maker Porter and Magic Hour hazy pale ale, with seasonals from Smoked Wheat on Rye to Gin Joint Gruit Ale, sold in its bottle shop and to bars across Durham, York and Toronto.
The Second Wedge'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 the brewery about US sales.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.
