Alexander Keith's Brewery

Alexander Keith's is a Canadian brewery founded in 1820 in Halifax, Nova Scotia making it one of the oldest commercial breweries in all of North America. It was founded by Alexander Keith who emigrated from Scotland in 1817. Today, the brewery is under the control of Labatt, a subsidiary of Anheuser–Busch InBev, formerly Interbrew. The brewery also produces Oland Brewery beers, distributed in Eastern Canada.

In April 2011, Alexander Keith's began selling beer in the United States after nearly two centuries of being available in Canada alone.

Keith's brewery produces Keith's India Pale Ale, Keith's Red Amber Ale, Keith's Premium White, Keith's Light Ale, and Keith's Dark Ale previously known as Stag's Head Stout for Canadian markets, and Keith's Nova Scotia Style Pale Ale, Keith's Nova Scotia Style Lager, and Keith's Nova Scotia Style Brown Ale for US markets. Keith's first, most popular, and most widely distributed beer is its India Pale Ale. Keith's has also produced Keith's Ambrosia Blonde, Keith's Harvest Ale, and Keith's Tartan Ale as seasonal brews. Originally brewed in the Halifax brewery, Keith's expanded production to other breweries as well, and is now produced in Ontario (London), Quebec (Montreal), Newfoundland (St. John's), British Columbia (Creston), and Missouri (St. Louis), in addition to the original Halifax brewery which now produces beer for all of the Maritime provinces.
