SHIPPING

CAN I GET A TATA BREW PACKAGE SHIPPED TO ME?

You must be 19+ years to order and receive our beer in Canada. Canada Post requires a signature and ID for everyone picking up/receiving their Tata Brew Beer Order. *This does not apply to merchandise.

The rules and regulations in Canada are constantly changing and ultimately the responsibility lies with the consumer to make sure they are legally allowed to import our products in their jurisdiction. If you reside in a province where importing alcohol from other provinces is restricted, you will not be able to order from us.

We ship merchandise worldwide. We are now shipping beer to all Canadian Provinces, unfortunately we do not ship to Nunavut, Yukon or Northwest Territories.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY BEER?

If you live in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or New Brunswick with service from MBW Courier, beer ordered will be shipped within 2 business days via MBW. Supply a phone number if you would like to be called in advance with notice of delivery. 

All other packages are shipped through Canada Post, where you will receive a tracking number when your package has been shipped. We will take the liberty of delaying delivery during extreme weather conditions, during this time we ask for your patience.

HOW DOES DELIVERY WORK?

When your package is shipped out, you will receive an email with your tracking information. By law, on the day of delivery, please ensure you have the required ID for proof of age. ID must match the person who placed the order.

We strongly suggest getting your package delivered to your daytime address. Refrigerate, then enjoy!

MUST BE A MULTIPLE OF 12 CANS PER ORDER OR 6 BOTTLES. FEEL FREE TO MIX AND MATCH! Cans, bottles and merchandise are all packaged separately, so if you order all 3, expect 3 packages! We use specific packaging for bottles (box + inserts) and specific packaging for cans (reinforced box).

DOES THE PRICE OF THE PACKAGE INCLUDE SHIPPING?

Yes! The base shipping cost is included in the package price, however additional shipping surcharges may apply to certain areas and rural locations. These surcharges are based on your postal code and if applicable, will be displayed at checkout, before you have finalized your order.

RETURNS

WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET AN OFF BOTTLE OR CAN?

Oh no! That’s no fun. We are sorry! If you do get an off bottle or can as part of your package, let us know within 30 days of delivery by contacting onlineorders@tatabrew.com, or (902) 657-4000 and we will resolve the issue.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY BEER ARRIVES DAMAGED?

Our VinPak Shipper inserts and boxes rarely allow for a broken bottle or busted can. However, now and then due to shipping or weather, bottles and cans do arrive damaged. Should your shipment arrive in pieces, please email the beer’s details and a photo of the broken bottle to us onlineorders@tatabrew.com, within 30 days of receiving your shipment, we will happily work out a solution with you.

OTHER

ARE YOUR BEERS VEGAN?

All of our beers are vegan friendly.

DO YOU PRODUCE A GLUTEN FREE BEER?

None of our beers are gluten free. There are a growing number of breweries who offer tasty gluten free or reduced gluten options, but our current production does not include any such varieties.

WHO DESIGNS YOUR LOGO, LABELS AND PACKAGING?

All of our packaging is designed by Eric Miller.

ARE YOU CERTIFIED ORGANIC?

We were certified organic for 9 years but made the challenging decision in 2023 to no longer certify. We are committed to our same award-winning product, using our premium ingredients and the best practices learned during our 9 years of certification. It was a tremendous learning experience and we are pleased to continue to use our organic knowledge. We are also pleased to be able to focus on more LOCAL ingredients going forward! Please email info@tatabrew.com if you have any questions, we'd love to chat!

DO YOU SELL GROWLERS?

Yes, (for now). As of June 1st, 2025 we will no longer be selling growlers, and all  growler owners will have until then to keep getting fills and/or drop growlers off for their $5 (per bottle) deposit. Until then, our growler program will operate as usual! We sell 1L growlers at our retail store in Tatamagouche only. Tata Brew Growlers are pre-filled and ready for you to enjoy! As long as your growler is kept cold and out of the light it will hold-up for 3 months. Once a growler is opened it is best to drink it all within 24 hrs. It will start to lose carbonation as oxygen enters the bottle when opened. Keep cold. Drink fresh.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR MASH (SPENT GRAINS)?

Our mash goes to the Fraser Farm in Bayhead. They pick it up and then give it to their cows for a meal. The cows come running when they bring the spent grains.
