Waterloo Brewing has made its Waterloo Dark lager since 1984 and also brews an oak-aged Amber and a line of 2.5% radlers (grapefruit, pineapple, mango passionfruit, tart cherry) in cans, and produces Somersby cider for Carlsberg in the same Kitchener plant.
Waterloo Brewing's packaged beer (HTS 2203.00.00, "Beer made from malt") and cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling") 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.
Made in Canada
Everything is made at the Kitchener brewery at "400 Bingemans Center Drive Kitchener, ON N2B 3X9 Canada", where the Beer Store sells "beer, radlers and cider all brewed on site"; Carlsberg says Somersby cider "has been produced at Waterloo Brewing since 2020."
