Sapporo Breweries shifts beer production from Canada to U.S. amid tariffs
Sapporo Breweries has announced plans to shift some of its beer production from Canada to the United States. The decision is a response to the U.S. government imposing 50 percent tariffs on beer imported from Canada.
The company intends to relocate its non-alcoholic beer production, which is currently manufactured in Canada, to the U.S. by the first half of 2027. To mitigate the impact of rising costs, Sapporo is exploring options to increase production capacity on the U.S. West Coast, including potential brewery acquisitions or partnerships.
In a related development regarding North American trade, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe stated that recent U.S. trade escalations would have a minor impact on his province. Moe noted that while tariffs remain on certain exports like honey and wooden furniture, approximately 94 percent of Saskatchewan’s exports continue to be tariff-free.
