Sask. is keeping 54 U.S.A. alcohol brands made in Canada
The province said due to concerns they heard about their announcement on Friday banning certain alcohol products, they’ve decided on a new approach — focusing on removing U.S.-produced alcohol.
The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) released a list of more than 50 American alcohol brands it won’t be purchasing in retaliation against the threat of tariffs from the United States on March 21.
On March 24, the provincial government said, “the sale and distribution of 54 Canadian-produced American brands will now resume.”
Western Canada at Restaurants Canada said the policy ban could have an unintended boomerang effect on Saskatchewan’s economy since some of the banned liquor with U.S. labels is manufactured in Canada, such as Bud Light, Coors Light, Budweiser and Michelob Lite.
