The government of Saskatchewan is changing its practices after the province restricted American alcohol earlier this month in a move to put pressure on the U.S. to drop tariffs.
Originally that meant that the provincial government, the sole supplier of liquor to retailers across the province, would stop selling any American alcohol to retailers. That's since been changed so that American alcohol which is made in Canada will not be targeted.
The province stated the following in a release:
As part of Saskatchewan’s response to US tariffs, SLGA notified beverage alcohol retailers, distributors, and producers that American-branded products would no longer be sold or distributed in Saskatchewan. Government has since heard concerns about some of these products that are produced in Canada.
As a result, Saskatchewan is realigning its approach to be consistent with other provinces by focusing on US-produced alcohol and the sale and distribution of 54 Canadian-produced American brands will now resume.
Brands which will see a return to Saskatchewan shelves include Bud Light, Mott's Clamato, and White Claw.
