Since the Moncton thread has become quite entertaining with the mention of beer. I just have one question; What beers are brewed in your city/region?

Here are some Maritime ones (bold means historically locally company that still brews here):

Halifax: Garrison, Keiths, Oland, Labatt, Propellor

Moncton: Pumphouse, Molsons'/Coors

Fredericton: Picaroons

Saint John: Mooseheads, Alphine

Here are a couple ancient images that I took of our now defunct Molson brewery:

Ignore their crapiness. These are from early in my education.

Not to criticize Bedford DJ, but it's Pumphouse Brewery, not Omphouse! They are the purveyors of many fine beer including the legendary Blueberry Beer!

Moncton's other brewery is Molsons'/Coors. They just celebrated their first anniversary this week. In their first year of production, they made 25,000,000 bottles of beer.

Sorry thinking of beer makes me stop thinking...I'll edit the first post

isn't the Molson Brewery a self storage place now?

[MolsonExport]

In London, we have Canada's largest brewery, Labatt's.

[Calgarian]

We Have Big Rock here, not sure if there are any others though.

[Bigtime]

Toronto has Steamwhistle right? In the old roundhouse by the CN Tower. I've noticed it appearing on shelves here in Calgary quite a bit lately.

As for Calgary:

-Big Rock (as Johnnyc pointed out)
-Wild Rose
-Mountain Crest? I think they are out of Calgary.

I thought Wild Rose was Edmonton, I could be wrong. If Mountain Crest is here we should blow that place up, their beer is just awful!

Is AGD brewed here?

I could be mistaken about Wild Rose, you know me Johnny I just drink the stuff! :cheers:

[240glt]

^ Yeah Mountain Crest is awful. AGD is not that bad, I drank a bit of it when I first moved to Calgary and was poor.

Edmonton's got a Labatts plant and a few microbrews... Alley Kat is the only one that I can name off hand, but I know there are a few more.

I stay true to my roots and drink Kokanee Gold.

[Calgarian]

I could be mistaken about Wild Rose, you know me Johnny I just drink the stuff! :cheers:

No, you're right, Wild Rose is in Calgary. Velvet Fog is the only WR beer I've had, it's okay.

AGD is awful!

[Distill3d]

Vancouver has a few. these are the two biggest i know of:

Granville Island Brewery
Molson Brewery

otherwise, some of the rest can be found on this website (http://www.bcbeer.ca/brewery.aspx)

[Calgarian]

I think most Major cities have a Molson and a Labbat Brewry.

[wild wild west]

I thought Wild Rose was Edmonton, I could be wrong. If Mountain Crest is here we should blow that place up, their beer is just awful!

Is AGD brewed here?

I believe AGD is brewed by Big Rock.

Mountain Crest is a Calgary company but I believe their beer is actually brewed in the USA.

In fact there are many discount brands that come out of various Calgary companies.

If you are into discount beer brands, I would stick to the Presidents Choice brands...they don't have the nasty aftertaste of other low-cost brands like Mountain Crest, AGD, Bowen Island, Lighthouse, etc. Apparently they are brewed in Western Canada by Big Rock, and by Brick in Eastern Canada.

Oye.. I saw an Econoline Crush CD release party there back in 2000 or 2001.. can't remember

[drew]

HAD.

There is only a Labatt brewery in Edmonton. Otherwise Molson and Labatt have cleared out of AB/SK/MB.

Winnipeg had a Labatt and Molson Brewery (among others) that have all since closed.

[Echoes]

http://www.stargazette.com/blogs/genx/apbond/img/gwb.gif

Saskatoon:
- Great Western Brewing Company: http://www.greatwesternbrewing.com

Great Western Brewing came to be as a result of the Molson Brewery closure in 1989. Employees pooled their resources and opened their own brewery. Recently, GW has won gold medals at Belgium’s Monde Selection awards for Great Western Light, Great Western Pilsner and Great Western Premium. I believe that GW beers can be found throughout the better part of western Canada nowadays.

- Paddock Wood Brewing Co.: http://www.paddockwood.com/

Granville Island makes a fabulous Maple Cream Ale. I love it.

Here in Shanghai, the only brewery I'm familiar with is the Shanghai Asia Pacific Brewery, which brews the brand called REEB (no joke, but is actually a similar to the sound of the Chinese name Li Bo, which means strong wave) and brews the Singaporean brand Tiger under license.

[vid]

There is one I know of, downtown, called Great White North Craft Brewery. It makes "Port Arthur Pale", which is supposed to reflect Port Arthur. He's working on one for Fort William as well, but I haven't heard anything about it. It's only sold in and around town, as far as I know, and only at the LCBO because the Beer Store is a monopoly owned by big corporations that hate the little guy. He wanted to move into the old train station downtown but I doubt he'll be able to. The city and private developers have other plans for it.

I think the Port Arthur Brasserie and Brew Pub also brewed beer in-house but I don't think they do that anymore, probably haven't for years. I heard it closed but last time I was up there it looked open.

That's all I can think of. :\

Labatt Crystal is very popular here, but it isn't made here. It's just all we can afford. :(

[jeremy_haak]

Waterloo: Brick Brewing Co. (maker of Waterloo Dark, one of my favourites) and the Huether Hotel has it's own brewery, the Lion Brewing Co. I think.
Guelph: Wellington Brewing Co.

Unibroue, Labatt and Boreale have brewery in Montreal area and have important share of total beer market in Quebec..

[0773|=\]

Edmonton used to have a Maverick Brewing Co., but they went under a few years ago. Shame. That was good beer...

[le calmar]

All I can think of in Sherbrooke is a Labatt warehouse (I don't think they're brewing beer in there though) and 3 micro-breweries (4th to open soon)

Lion's Pub in Lennoxville

They're just local beers, mostly sold only in these places.

and the st-ambroise on st-ambroise street! That place offers free sampling and food in the summer!

[davee930]

Wild Rose Brewery is in the Currie Barracks in Calgary. They brew delicious beer! Lot's of variety. I recommend going there for a couple beers and a meal. They serve amazing chili and beer sausage. You can also bring home a pig of beer.

[flar]

Hamilton has Lakeport, but I'd be more interested in some good micro breweries. Unfortunately Hamilton doesn't have any that I know of.

In Toronto there are a couple of bigger independent breweries with great "interactive" facilities. Steamwhistle is in the roundhouse right beside the CN Tower and Mill St. Brewery at the Distillery District.

[Acajack]

Le Siboire! Génial! What a fantastic name!

Lakeport

:haha:

Where is Lucky from? I haven't heard a radio commercial for it in a while.

[JBinCalgary]

and dont forget kewartha lakes aswell.

steam whistle is the best beer ever

[Ayreonaut]

Ahem, what is a 16 year old doing starting threads about breweries? :dunno:

Other major breweries include the Labatt brewery ( no picture found on internet, weird !!) and Saint-ambroise brewery.

Also many smaller breweries like Tremblay etc.

lucky is vancouver island beer... nanaimo i think. it comes in 5% cans here

http://www.derrabe.eu/pix/lucky_lager_the_cheapest_ca.jpg

it's different (worse) in ontario where it comes in bottles, 4.7%, and is brewed by labatts in london.

http://www.labatt.com/english/lbc_brands/images/reg/lucky.jpg

by far the worst shit ever though was lucky force 10

http://www.40ouncebeer.com/pics400/luckylagerforce10bottle.jpg


these are good. i had a few this evening in fact. phillips slipstream. brewed in victoria.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/2761669481_80581e3a30.jpg?v=0

they also brew one of my favorite beers, blue buck, however i'm not brave enough to try their ipa. lets just say i had a traumatizing experience with "ipa" before

[rapid_business]

I wish there were more microbreweries out in Alberta... I've always said if I won a significant amount of money, I'd partner in opening a microbrewery...

Anyways... Here are some of my local (regional) favorite now that I live in Waterloo:

Brick Brewing Company: Waterloo, ON (http://www.brickbeer.com/)

Stratford Brewing Company: Stratford, ON (http://www.stratfordbrewing.com/on_tap.shtml)

Creemore Springs Brewery: Creemore, ON (http://www.creemoresprings.com/live/)

Walkerville Brewing Company: Walkerville, ON (http://www.walkervillebrew.com/)

Anyways, that's just a couple I like in the area. Check out this website here (http://www.ontariocraftbrewers.com/breweriesMap.php) that lists all the craft brewers in Ontario. Quiet a list I might say! They are, however missing some that are either now owned by larger corporations (such as Creemore which is now owned by Molson), or not so craft breweries such as Steam Whistle (I guess???)....
