The company behind Sour Puss liquor is transferring its production from Minnesota to Quebec after witnessing a sudden drop in sales when provincial liquor boards halted their orders during the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade dispute.

Phillips Distilling Company in Minnesota has entered into a five-year agreement to produce its sweet-and-sour drinks in Montreal following the suspension this spring of American-made alcoholic products on retail shelves across Canada.
