Pilot report · British Columbia

151British Columbia breweries have closed.
Nobody publishes the list.

One mark per closed brewery. They are named and located in our archive because we do not delete a brewery when it stops trading — which is the moment every commercial database removes it.

The archive is free. Facts are not for sale.

No brewery pays to appear in the archive, to be corrected, to be marked independent, or to have its closure recorded. Verification is free permanently, and the whole record is public and citable.

What businesses pay for here is the work — organising, verifying and analysing those facts against a specific commercial problem. That is a service, not access. It is also why the underlying record can be trusted: nothing in it was bought.

  • BC-01Pilot

    British Columbia Closure Intelligence

    Every closed brewery in British Columbia — named, located, dated and sourced — with closures by year, by region, and by how long a brewery lasted before it stopped.

    Who it is for
    Distributors and suppliers carrying credit risk. Equipment dealers and insolvency advisors. Landlords with brewing sites. Guilds measuring attrition they cannot otherwise see.
    Where it stands today
    151 closures identified, named and located. 3 carry a confirmed year today — dating and sourcing the remainder is the work.
  • OWN-01Planned

    Ownership Intelligence

    Who actually owns a brewery, who owned it before, and when it changed — separating brand owner from operating company from site owner, which are routinely assumed to be the same and routinely are not.

    Who it is for
    Anyone whose counterparty risk depends on knowing which group is behind a label.
    Where it stands today
    Not started. Canadian ownership is 65% unresolved and saying so is more useful than a report that guesses.

  • CHN-01Future

    Brewery Churn Intelligence

    Openings against closures over time — the rate a regional brewing scene is actually growing or contracting, rather than the count of what happens to be trading this quarter.

    Who it is for
    Trade bodies, lenders, tourism boards and anyone planning against a market they assume is still expanding.
    Where it stands today
    Depends on closure dating being finished first. It is the same research, counted the other way round.

    Custom Research

    A specific question against the archive: one region, one corporate group, one period, one supply chain. Scoped, priced and answered — or declined if the evidence will not support an answer.

    Who it is for
    Anyone with a question the reports above do not ask.
    Where it stands today
    Scoped case by case. If the archive cannot evidence it, we say so rather than bill for a guess.

How the work is done

  1. Every dated claim carries a source. If a closure year cannot be evidenced, the report says unknown. A researched blank is worth more than a confident guess, and it is the rule the whole archive runs on.
  2. Confidence is graded, not implied. Records carry A–D grades. You can see which parts of a finding are solid and which are inference, rather than being handed a flat number.
  3. Nothing is sponsored. No brewery, supplier or group pays to appear or to be characterised a particular way, in the archive or in a report.
  4. Scope is agreed before invoicing. Reports are quoted with what they will contain and what they will not. If the evidence will not support the question, we decline it.
