Im from the states and for the last year I've changed to Labatt as my "protests purchase" because of the asshole is the Whitehouse. I probably could have done a better job of reaching things as it seems Labatt sold in the states is actually a US company and not Canadian. However, the product is branded very Canadian so at least is appears im purchasing Canadian. All that said, is there an actual Canadian brewed beer I can purchase in the states you'd recommend? (Looking for a simple lager or pilsner.)

Beer (alcohol) production is a huge rabbit hole. Most alcohol on the planet is produced by 4 or 5 companies.

Moosehead, Original 16, and Big Rock are all (real!) Canadian beers sold in the US. Almost everything else you find will be owned by Molson-Coors, Heineken N.V.,or Anheuser-Bush InBev. That's true for ALL beer!

If you can't find the beers I mentioned, consider supporting local microbreweries. They're probably hurting pretty badly.

    Not to mention where the lines are drawn between production facility, ownership, and distribution rights. It gets really complicated on the international stage.
