Which beer brands are made in Canada?

11 of the 12 beer brands we checked are made in Canada, across 10 products we verify. Strongly Canadian brands come first, then by how widely each is sold and searched, so a famous name with only weak Canadian ties does not take the top spot. How we score.

Labatt Blue is the pilsner Labatt launched in 1951. The nickname came from the blue label and from Winnipeg's Blue Bombers. Wikipedia calls it a 5 percent lager in a 341 ml bottle, and lists Labatt's Canadian breweries. FIFCO USA says American demand is fed from a Canadian supply. Interbrew bought Labatt in 1995, and AB InBev has owned it since 2008. The beer is Canadian-made. The parent is Belgian.

Corona is on Labatt's February 2025 list of beers made in Canada. CBC reported in 2020 that Ontario bottles would be brewed in London, after production had already started in Edmonton and Montreal.

Canadian-made, domestic & imported inputs (Edmonton, Alberta)

Head office in Toronto, OntarioFounded 1876

Budweiser has been brewed in Canada by Labatt since 1980, starting at the Edmonton brewery. A 1998 lifetime licence makes Labatt the brewer and marketer here. Labatt's president says this beer is made in Canada with 100 percent Canadian barley. The budweiser.ca footer marks the trademark as Anheuser-Busch, LLC, and Labatt sits inside AB InBev. The beer is Canadian-made. The brand owner is not a Canadian company.

Brand ownership: Anheuser-Busch trademark, brewed by Labatt

73/100 · Strong Canadian ties

Canadian-made, domestic & imported inputs (Toronto, Ontario)

Head office in Montreal, QuebecFounded 1978

Coors Light is on the same 2022 Toronto brewery sheet as Molson Canadian. Molson Coors lists it under top brands at 1 Carlingview Drive, the firm's largest Canadian plant. The company also calls Coors Light a core power brand and a 4.0% light lager. Offices sit in Montreal, Golden and Chicago. So the Canadian can is filled here, and the owner is not a Canadian-only company.

1. Heineken

0/100 · Imported

Origin unverified

Head office in Amsterdam, North HollandFounded 1864

Heineken N.V. was founded in Amsterdam in 1864, and Heineken Holding N.V. owns just over half of it. In Canada, Molson Coors has marketed and distributed Heineken for years. A 2014 deal expanded that job and talked about imported beer, but it did not name a brewery. Labatt's 2025 list of beers made in Canada does not include Heineken. Until a plant is named, the honest answer is unclear.

Brand ownership: Heineken N.V. (Netherlands)
Ultimate parent: Heineken Holding N.V.
Manufacturing: Not disclosed for Canada
Ingredient origin: Not disclosed
