Moosehead Breweries Limited, located in Saint John, New Brunswick, is Canada's oldest independent brewery.

The brewery was founded in 1867 by Susannah Oland and is still operated by the Oland family, now in the sixth generation of ownership, under Derek Oland. The Moosehead roster of beer consists of Moosehead Lager, Moosehead Light, Alpine Lager, Alpine Light, Alpine Summit, Moosehead Pale Ale, Clancy's Amber Ale, Moosehead Premium Dry and Moosehead Dry Ice, Ten-Penny Old Stock Ale, and Cold Filtered Light by Moosehead. Moosehead also produces under contract a number of international brands on behalf of four of the world's largest brewers.

All brands of Moosehead have "Union Made" proudly displayed on their labels, and in some cases, directly on the bottle. Moosehead sells its beer throughout Canada, the United States, and in 15 countries around the world. Once a popular premium import beer in the United States, Moosehead lost vast market share in the 1980's when it lowered its price in an attempt to compete with larger US brewers on price instead of quality & prestige. Starting April 1st, Moosehead USA will become it's own importer, replacing Gambrinus. Glenn McDonald, President of Moosehead USA, recently announced the opening of a new head office in Boulder, Colorado. Among other goals, he commented that he is "looking to expand other brands into the US market."

Moosehead has purchased other manufacturing facilities including a 50% stake in the McAuslan brewery in Quebec and wholly owns the Niagara Falls Brewing Company in Ontario.

As Canada's two largest brewers (Labatt & Molson) are now foreign-owned, Moosehead is now Canada's largest 100% Canadian brewery.

In 2005 and 2006, Moosehead was a key sponsor of the Canada Day Countdown event in Saint John, New Brunswick.
