Trail Beer Refinery
Trail, British Columbia, Canada
Tally's Take
Why this matters
A modern Trail brewery with no founding year established here. The Tailout owners purchased it in 2024, and the Trail Beer Refinery operation closed as Tailout moved into the space in 2025. The archive closes TBR and does not extend it into its successor — the same call made everywhere else in this collection where one brewery's room became another brewery's, which is a pattern it has now documented in a dozen cities.
