Brewery site lineage
What Stood Here
A directory records a brewery and deletes it the day it closes. So when a building has held three breweries in fifteen years, nothing says so — each occupant was current once, and each was erased in turn. This page follows the address instead of the business.
Alabama is nearly all of this — the first region worked to this depth — alongside Molson's founding site in Montreal, where beer was made for 235 years. Every other place in the archive has the same buildings and no record of them yet.
The long occupancies
One operator, one address, twenty years or more. Ranked by how long the beer kept being made in the same place.

An address here is a record of what operated at a location, not a claim about who owns a business. A brewery opening where another closed inherits the building and nothing else — not the recipes, not the company, not the history. Where a genuine business succession exists it is recorded on the brewery records themselves, and the two are deliberately not the same thing.
