The folks that talk about the monarch being foreign won't care that there is a Canadian ceremonial rank.

Are any of them really independent anymore? Sleemans, Olands, Unibroue? Seems like as soon as they are big enough to get sold in the Beer Store they are picked up by a conglomerate. Which makes them easier to find and buy, so I'm kind of okay with it?
If you stick with truly independent you may be down to that weird guy at work who makes homebrew in his backyard with some kludged equipment (which sounds like a fun hobby). Just difficult to find large, locally owned anything in this stage where we are creeping towards the weird dystopia of corporations replacing countries.

No Moosehead is the largest Canadian owned brewery. Still family owned. Most of the rest are Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, MolsonCoors and Sapporo. InBev even bought Mike's Hard. Many of the brands are of this three.

As like beer, so for a monarch . . .
Why would anybody want to do that?
I'll admit it's probably been decades since I drank any Moosepiss (my Gagetown time was in the 1980s). During my time down in Texas (1990), I would often see Moosehead branded trucks moving their product about and was genuinely confused by American colleagues who thought that there was some special cachet in it being "imported". There was much better imported brew from Mexico (or even Colorado).

I like how this thread drifted from the Monarchy to beer.
How utterly and refreshingly Canadian…
How utterly and refreshingly Canadian…
I was going to mention Canadian whiskey, but the major Canadian brands are all foreign owned now.
So everything Canadian seems to be foreign owned. For example, Hudson's Bay Company used to be an iconic and historic Canadian retailer, but has long been American owned. Don't really see why people whine that the Monarchy is "British". Most everything in Canada came from somewhere else, so what's the big deal? People just like to whine about something.

Good point. Isn’t half of Britain owned by the children of Russian oligarchs anyway?

And the Royal Families are related, of course, although George V could be argued to have let them die:
How the British royal family is related to the Romanovs
How the British royal family is related to the Romanovs
Nicholas II was married to Alexandra Fedorovna, Queen Victoria’s granddaughter, but not only that. We take a closer look at the Windsor-Romanov...

The Empress was cousin to both King George V and The Kaiser. Its complicated to say the least.
