It is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev.
The brewery was founded in 1820 by Alexander Keith who had immigrated from Scotland three years previously.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1928, the business was sold to Oland Brewery, which was in turn sold to the Labatt Brewing Company. Following a number of mergers and acquisitions, Labatt's is now part of Anheuser-Busch InBev.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Since 1928, parent companies kept the brand alive, and by the 1990s Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (IPA) was the most popular beer in Nova Scotia.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A number of other styles is also marketed. Although Alexander Keith products were originally produced in the Halifax brewery only for sale in the Maritimes, they are now produced at Anheuser-Busch InBev plants across Canada and America.
Archived recipes for beer made by the Alexander Keith's Brewery in the early 1900s show high levels of hopping, with large all-malt mash ingredients and no use of corn, typical for beers of that time.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> In contrast, the modern beer marketed as Alexander Keith's IPA is only 5% alcohol by volume and lightly hopped, which does not meet the accepted criteria for an India pale ale.<ref name=doherty>Template:Citation</ref> At the 2016 Canadian Brewing Awards, Alexander Keith's IPA won third place, not in the IPA category, but in the "North American Style Blonde or Golden Ale" category.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
