As shared in June 2022, the LCBO has partnered with distributors and agents to facilitate the sale of import keg products. Under the Import Keg Distribution Program, eligible distributors can apply for an authorization that enables them to support the sale of import keg products and provide services on LCBO’s behalf, including the warehousing and delivery of imported kegs to approved customers and the collection of payments. 

We’re now pleased to provide the Program Guidelines (available through Import Keg Guidelines | Doing Business with LCBO and attached) which are effective April 1, 2023.

Key changes to the program include:

  1. The Program permits approved distributors to distribute kegs of imported liquor (including beer, cider, sake, wine, and coolers).  
  2. A list of approved Import Keg Distributors has been posted on Doing Business with LCBO.
  3. Program guidelines 
  4. Program participation requirements
