Schooner Lager

Schooner is a regional lager style beer of the eastern Canadian provinces.

It has an alcohol content of 5.0% ABV and is brewed at the Oland Brewery in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The Oland family (not to be confused with the Saint John, New Brunswick relatives who still own and operate Moosehead Brewery) used Bluenose II as both a private yacht and as a promotion for the beer brand.

The Oland family sold their breweries to Labatt in 1971, and Schooner has since been produced under the InBev umbrella.

Although the marketing campaigns have long since ceased, Schooner is still carried by liquor stores across the Maritime provinces.
