Production of Sapporo 0.0% for the US market
To clarify recent media reports, the potential relocation of Sapporo 0.0% production for the U.S. market from Sleeman Breweries' Canadian facilities to Sapporo USA's U.S. facilities is not imminent or finalized.
Sapporo 0.0% that is produced in Canada for sale in the US represents only 0.5% of Sleeman Breweries’ total production in Canada. Sleeman Breweries beer that is sold in Canada is brewed in Canada, with the exception of our 650mL cans of Sapporo Premium, which are imported from Vietnam.
Sleeman Breweries remains committed to sustaining and growing our production and brands in the Canadian market, including the non-alcoholic beer we brew and sell in Canada.
