About Asahi Canada

Asahi Canada’s vision is to become an International Premium Beer powerhouse. We will achieve this by leveraging our strengths and existing success models, and by applying a challenger mind-set to everything we do. Asahi Canada's collection of premium beers each tell their own brand story and share a passion for craftsmanship, authenticity and using only the finest ingredients. Our iconic premium beers include Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Grolsch Premium Pilsner, Asahi Super Dry, Pilsner Urquell, Meantime London Pale Ale, Fuller’s London Pride, Tyskie, Kozel, Lech and Zubr.


Asahi Group Holdings (our global parent company) is the third largest beer company in the world based on market capitalisation. Asahi Canada is a big bet market and reports into EMEAA which is part of Asahi Europe and International. However, Asahi Canada broadly operates on a stand-alone basis. At Asahi Canada, we have a clear mandate to strengthen our position by establishing a leading premium presence. The expectations are that Asahi Canada is among the leaders in global growth within Asahi Group Holdings.
