Carlsberg Canada

Carlsberg Group in Canada

At Carlsberg Canada, our focus is the art of brewing. We live to excite our consumers with quality brews, while strengthening our identity and pride as brewers by continuously aiming to do better.
Carlsberg’s presence in Canada can be traced back to the early 1970s. But, in 2022, conversations to create a better beer business in Canada began. In March 2023, Carlsberg acquired Waterloo Brewing, signaling a new era for Carlsberg Canada.

With an impressive, combined portfolio of brands, including beer, cider and RTD’s, Carlsberg Canada’s purpose is brewing for a better today and tomorrow. Doing business responsibly and sustainably supports that purpose – and drives the efforts to deliver value for shareholders and society.
