Weirdly, because Molson bought Coors, even some of the large American beer brands are Canadian, after a fashion.

I'm the beer guy for the hockey team. When I'm buying beer for the hockey team (in MB), I sale hunt, and it doesn't need to be good. Sometimes it is Coors Light (made in Canada, owned by Canadian-headquartered firm, but US brand). Sometimes it is Labatt. Occasionally Moosehead or Sleeman 2.0. Whatever is on sale. Target price is about $1.60 per can and I can usually get close.

When buying for myself for pleasure, it is inevitably something actually Canadian, and often local. I'm a sucker for the Moosehead Radler. Or Trans Canada Brewing Bluebeary. But occasionally we buy Corona or 1664, sometimes in their non-alcoholic forms. No US brands in sight.

There are so many good options for just about anything you desire, but I feel for the bourbon connoisseurs.
