Sask. to put American-made booze back on the shelves
CBC10-06-2025
The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is resuming the purchase and distribution of American-made alcohol.
All American alcohol products will now be available for purchase through all distribution centres and private liquor distributors in the province, said David Morris, a spokesperson for the corporation, in a statement to CBC on Tuesday.
"This change gives Saskatchewan people the option to choose whether they want to buy these products or consider alternatives," Morris said.
The federal government's 25-per-cent tariff on U.S. alcohol remains in effect.
Morris said Saskatchewan consumers are still encouraged to support Saskatchewan and Canadian products when there is an option.
The change comes nearly three months after the province reversed its decision to stop selling some American-branded alcohol products made in Canada.
In March, the province announced a ban on all American alcohol products. It then walked back that ban for 54 brands that, while American-owned, are produced in Canada.
