Canadian brewery offering 'Presidential Pack' of 1,461 beers: 'Just enough' for next 4 years
(NEXSTAR) — Amid tariffs and tense conversations about making their country the 51st state, many Canadians have expressed their disdain with the U.S. in recent weeks. Now, the nation's oldest and largest independent brewery is offering Canadians a "Presidential Pack" of its lager, calling it "just enough to get through the full presidential term."
More specifically, the Presidential Pack comes complete with 1,461 Canadian Lagers from Moosehead Breweries, a press release from the company explains.
"If the start of 2025 has taught us anything, it's that it will take determination to weather four years of political uncertainty—and what better way to make it through each day than with a truly Canadian beer," Karen Grigg, director of marketing at Moosehead Breweries, said in the release.
Moosehead, like Canada, was established in 1867 and has "been through a lot over our 158 years and have persevered," Grigg added.
"While we can't predict how the next four years will go, we have a feeling that this large pack will come in handy."
The New Brunswick-based brewery shared a photo of one such Presidential Pack, seen below.
Following the one-beer-a-day recommendation, a Presidential Pack could last you until March 2029.
Retailing for $3,490 plus taxes and deposit — $2,477 in U.S. dollars, according to Moosehead's website — the massive package of lager is only available to customers in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario.
While Moosehead didn't mention President Donald Trump in its release, the past few weeks have been marked with rapidly changing tariff policies from the White House on Canadian imports. On Friday, Trump announced he is now planning tariffs on dairy and lumber imports from Canada, claiming the country is charging over 200% on U.S. dairy exports and a very high lumber tariff, Nexstar's Washington correspondents reported.
This came after tariffs on Canada and Mexico, initially launched in February, returned last week. Trump announced temporary exemptions for car parts and goods outlined in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement. On Sunday, however, he warned tariffs "could go up" come April 2.
Canada's initial retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. are remaining in effect, two senior Canadian government officials confirmed to The Associated Press. A second wave of tariffs, however, has been suspended.
Ontario is still expected to charge more for electricity shipped to Americans — the province provides electricity to Minnesota, New York, and Michigan — because of the tariffs. Ontario and other Canadian provinces are also keeping American booze off the shelves.
Moosehead is expecting to be impacted by the tariffs. CEO Andrew Oland pointed to the impending aluminum tariff while speaking with CNN, as well as the roughly 20% of its beer that is sold in the U.S. that could be hit with a tariff.
Meanwhile, Canada has faced threats from Trump to make the country the newest U.S. state. The talks have infuriated Canadians, who are booing the American anthem at NHL and NBA games. Some are canceling trips south of the border, and many are avoiding buying American goods when they can.
