The unsung heroes of the industry — the yeast, hops, malt, steel, glassware, and software that every brewery depends on. This is the B2B map no rating app bothers to build.

Malt
Canada Malting Co.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
One of North America's oldest and largest maltsters, incorporated 1902 and headquartered in Calgary. Operates malthouses at Calgary, Montreal and Thunder Bay plus nine country elevators across the three Prairie provinces, producing roughly 400,000 tonnes of malt a year. Held through United Malt Group, which was demerged from GrainCorp on 1 April 2020 and acquired by Malteries Soufflet — the malting arm of the French cooperative group InVivo — on 15 November 2023, creating the world's largest maltster at 3.7 million tonnes across 41 facilities in 20 countries. Canada Malting's own website still describes it as "a GrainCorp company," which has not been true since 2020.

Founders The Hamill family — fourth-generation barley farmers, first-generation maltsters
A family-owned craft maltster in central Alberta specialising in custom malts from local barley.
SuppliesSpecialty roasted malts, traceable base malts and custom roasting for regional breweries.
Tally's TakeFourth-generation barley farmers who got tired of selling commodity grain into a system that never named them, so they built a malthouse and a roaster on the farm. This is the shortest supply chain in Alberta beer: barley, malt and brewery within sight of each other.

Origin Malting & Brewing
Strathmore, Alberta, Canada
The first brewery in Alberta started by maltsters — malting and brewing under one roof.
Tally's TakeMost breweries buy malt. This one makes it, then brews with it, which collapses two links of the chain into one building east of Calgary.

United Malt Group
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Created on 1 April 2020 when GrainCorp demerged its global malting business and listed it separately on the ASX, with global headquarters in Vancouver. At demerger it was the world's fourth-largest maltster, with about 1.25 million tonnes of capacity across 13 plants in Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, operating through Canada Malting, Great Western Malting, Bairds Malt and Barrett Burston. It existed as an independent company for three years and seven months, until Malteries Soufflet completed its acquisition on 15 November 2023.
Tally's TakeA company that was spun out to stand on its own and was bought before it had finished doing so. The archive keeps it because the brands underneath it still trade, and because the chain from GrainCorp to InVivo is unreadable without the link in the middle.
