Im from the states and for the last year I've changed to Labatt as my "protests purchase" because of the asshole is the Whitehouse. I probably could have done a better job of reaching things as it seems Labatt sold in the states is actually a US company and not Canadian. However, the product is branded very Canadian so at least is appears im purchasing Canadian. All that said, is there an actual Canadian brewed beer I can purchase in the states you'd recommend? (Looking for a simple lager or pilsner.)

Unibroue are amazing, if you've never tried their beers you're missing out. La Fin Du Monde, Trois Pistoles, and A Tout La Monde are all exceptional. Also if you can somehow get your hands on it their 30th Anniversary beer is worth every penny.

Unibroue is a brewery in Chambly, Quebec, Canada, that was started by Serge Racine and Quebec native André Dion. The company was purchased by Sleeman Breweries Ltd. in 2004, which was itself taken over by Sapporo in 2006.

Fuck it, Japanese sure beats American. And they still do all their production in Canada, as far as I'm aware.

And the beer is great. La Fin du Monde and Blanche de Chambly are staples for me. Edit: were, until I switched for 100% Canadian brews.

Pretty much any Quebec microbrew is going to be great (really, I have yet to try a bad one, and I've had a lot) but if OP likes macro lagers, it may not be to their taste...
