Who else keeps brewing history
Institutions
Museums, archives, libraries, guilds and universities. When a brewery closes, its records rarely vanish entirely — they end up somewhere, and somewhere is usually one of these.
Recorded as identities, not as a mailing list
Each entry names an institution, where it is, and what its collection holds that is relevant to brewing. Contact details are deliberately not published here — the archive keeps them separately so that this export stays something you could hand to a university without handing over an outreach list at the same time. If you work at one of these and we have something wrong, please tell us. Those whose people have already checked records here are credited on Checked by.

Alberta Grains
Alberta
Own site: a not-for-profit, farmer-directed organization, the single voice for all of Alberta's wheat and barley farmers; formed from the Alberta Wheat Commission and Alberta Barley (the About page still carries the 2021-22 Alberta Wheat Commission annual report). Funds the CMBTC-linked Regional Variety Trials (Better Malt, Better Barley) and hosts the CMBTC recommended list.
Alberta Seed Processors
Alberta
Own site: 67 farmer-owned seed and grain processing co-ops across Alberta and the Peace region of BC; formerly the Alberta Association of Co-op Seed Cleaning Plants. Clive Seed Cleaning Co-op, the cleaner in the archive's first record, is a co-op of this kind.

Own site: incorporated in 2013 by a group of brewers; educates and advocates for member breweries and lobbies provincial and federal governments; hosts the annual Alberta Craft Brewing Convention and the Alberta Beer Awards; runs the annual Unity Brew. Board chair (2026) Brad Goddard, Big Rock; executive director Blair Berdusco.
American Breweriana Association, Inc.
United States / Colorado corporation
ABA states it is a 501(c)(3) educational and historical corporation founded in 1982 and is in partnership with the Potosi Museum Foundation to support a National Brewery Museum. Canonical organization, not a brewery or institution. Non-profit 501(c)(3) educational and historical corporation founded 1982; executive director in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Publishes the American Breweriana Journal. In partnership with the Potosi Museum Foundation supports the National Brewery Museum and its library in Potosi, Wisconsin. Merged 2026-09-12 from ORG-00000298, a duplicate minted the day before on the same source; ', Inc.' defeated the exact-name check.
Asociación de Cerveceros Artesanales de Panamá
Panama
Panama's craft brewers association. CEASED TO EXIST, per direct testimony from founder Juan Sanchez in September 2026, who also states there is currently no active replacement association. END DATE UNKNOWN: the founder confirmed that it is gone, not when it ended, and a date is not inferred from the date we were told. Recorded as CLOSED rather than deleted, because an association that existed and then did not is exactly the kind of history this archive keeps. A successor association, if one forms, is a separate entity and not a continuation.
Brewery Collectibles Club of America
USA
Founded as the Beer Can Collectors of America at Denver Wright Jr.'s residence on 15 April 1970 after an October 1969 newspaper ad in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat drew six collectors; 300+ members by the first convention (St. Louis, 1971). The rename to Brewery Collectibles Club of America is not dated on the first-party page read; the 2003 date circulating elsewhere is not recorded here. Hosts an annual CANvention; the history page names host chapters by year. bcca.com refuses automated readers (403) — a host refusing a bot, not missing evidence.

Canada's Capital Chapter
Ontario
Listed by the CCBA as a regional chapter with a founding year of 1867 — the year of Confederation, not a plausible date for a breweriana club. Recorded without a start date and UNCONFIRMED; the listing is the only evidence.

Bahamas / Caribbean
Regional trade association listing CBL as Bahamas member.
Collectors of Canadian Brewery Advertising
Canada
Traces its roots to the first convention in Toronto in 1980 under the banner of The Canadian Brewerianist, a subscription magazine owned by Loren Newman of Bright's Grove, Ontario; later the Canadian Brewerianist Society; adopted the present name in 2007 at its Fernie, BC convention. STARTED left blank on purpose: 1980 is the first convention and 2007 the present name, and the page does not date the body itself.
