Overview of the beer market in Canada
In 2018, Canada's beer landscape included 995 federally licensed breweries, and the country was home to over 1,000 small or independent craft breweries from coast to coast. Statistics show that 85% of all beer enjoyed in Canada is made right here at home. The number of breweries in Canada increased by 21.8% between 2017 and 2018, while the number of breweries per capita was 3.4 in 2018, up from 2.8 over the previous year.
In Canada, there is no overarching definition of what is considered a craft brewery. However, such an establishment generally holds a licence from the federal government, produces no more than 400,000 hectolitres and is independently owned and operated. Most craft breweries in Canada produce less than 5,000 hectolitres annually.

Beer sales in Canada totalled Can$20.2 billion in 2018, up from Can$18.8 billion in 2014, and forecasts indicate this trend will continue through to 2023, with sales reaching Can$22.1 billion.
Lagers seem to dominate the beer market in Canada with sales amounting to Can$16.1 billion in 2018. They are anticipated to grow by an additional Can$1.4 billion by 2023.
Volume sales, however, appear to be on a downward trend, having steadily decreased from 2,086.6 million litres in 2014, to 2,050.2 million litres in 2018, and are expect to continue this trend into 2023, reaching a low of 1,946.8 million litres.

Craft vs. non-craft beer in Canada
Non-craft beer sales in Canada have been slowly increasing over the past several years, amounting to Can$18.3 billion in 2018, up from Can$17.7 billion in 2014. Lagers tend to be Canadians' beer of choice, accounting for 86.9% of all non-craft beer sales in 2018.
Although non-craft beer in Canada continues to dominate the market, craft beer sales have seen a major increase over the five-year period of 2014 to 2018, nearly doubling from Can$1.0 billion to Can$1.9 billion. While lagers are favoured in the non-craft beer category, ales are the number one choice on the craft beer spectrum with Can$1.7 billion in sales during 2018, up from Can$905.2 million in 2014.

Despite the increase in value of overall beer sales in Canada, volume sales decreased from 2014 to 2018 due to a dip in non-craft beer of 96 million litres. Craft beer volume sales, on the other hand, have experienced a 70.1-million-litre increase between 2014 and 2018. The majority of craft beer sale volume increases can be attributed to the ale segment having gained 59.8 million litres between 2014 and 2018.
