Brewing Ecosystem · Alberta
From the land to the glass
Explore the grain, hops, yeast and water behind Alberta beer.
Every farm, malt house, hop yard, laboratory and research program here has its own record, and each rests on a source. None of them is filed as a brewery, and none is treated as a supplier unless supplying is what it does.

How records connect
Only what the evidence shows
A connection appears only when a source records it. Nothing is assumed from a name, a town or a neighbour. The counts are the connections the archive holds today.

Some evidenced links, such as a co-op cleaning grain for a brewery, fall outside these ten and are shown on each record rather than counted here. Links recorded without a source are held back until one is attached.
Method
Source, evidence, entity, relationship, archive
A record starts with a source, not a name. Where a fact has not been proven, the record says UNKNOWN rather than guess. The deeper working pages for each layer stay open: field to glass, barley growers, maltsters, hop growers and yeast.
Grow, malt, test or supply for Alberta beer, and not here? Tell us, with a source, and we will add the record.
