It is through cross country partnerships, and ongoing support from the Canadian government, the Trade Commissioner Service, the High Commission of Canada, Investment in Agriculture and Agrifood Canada, that Canadian beers are making it across the globe, and successfully entering foreign markets. This work is vital to the expansion of the craft beer business in Canada, and supports the larger craft beer movement globally towards inclusiveness, education, and collaboration.
