The McMartin family's Bells Corners brewery pairs small-batch beer with hand-tossed pizza: Small Town Kolsch made with Mississippi Mills pilsner malt, Wanderer Bohemian Pilsner, Cruise West Coast IPA, The Betty Irish stout, Rock n Hops NEIPA and a rotating run of Unfiltrd Project one-offs, from a fresh-hop pale ale to gelato kettle sours, sold in cans and kegs.
Whiprsnapr'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 from August 22, 2026. We have not found a public source on whether Whiprsnapr sold in the US; its site says it cannot legally ship outside 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.
