The trade conflict between the US and Canada, triggered by tariffs on Canadian goods, is significantly affecting the drinks industry. Ontario's Liquor Control Board has started to eliminate US beverages from its inventory, responding to a 25 percent tariff imposed by Washington. This move not only restricts American brands from entering Ontario's market but also creates a favorable environment for British brewers to penetrate Canada’s lucrative segment, especially amid rising anti-US sentiments. Meanwhile, US producers are exploring the UK as an alternative export destination, shifting their strategy in light of lost access to the Canadian market.
The LCBO's removal of US-made beverages provides British brewers a prime opportunity to enter Canada's drinks market in response to the ongoing trade tensions.
With the LCBO controlling alcohol sales, the ban on US products significantly impacts local suppliers, opening the door for British alternatives amid growing 'anti-US' sentiments.
US producers, like Californian wine and Kentucky whiskey brands, are now turning to the UK for new markets due to lost access to Canada.
Canada's tariffs on US goods create a unique moment for British drinks producers, making Canadian consumers more open to non-US beverages.
