Canadian breweries have been making American brands for year,
apparently cross-border TV ads have stimulated demand for "The Silver
Bullet" etc. Then you have the strange case of Minhas Craft Brewery:
The former Huber Brewery of Wisconsin was bought out by immigrants to
Canada, who benefit from NAFTA by brewing beers there for the Canadian
market. Minhas also makes beer for Trader Joe's -- $3 for a sixpack of
cans.

TJ's used to carry Huber products back in the day.
