Your City's Breweries

[Dmajackson]

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.

If you are able to hold your mouse steady enough and you still have eyesight.

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.

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!

^ 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.

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

[Calgarian]

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

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.

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.
