For the trade
Suppliers & Breweries
Most of what happens in brewing is recorded by the people selling something and deleted when it stops being useful to them. This archive exists to keep the record instead — including the parts the industry would rather forget.
If you are a brewery
Your record is here whether or not you ever contact us, and it stays here if you close. What we want from you is accuracy: founding dates, ownership changes, the beers you actually make, and the ones you have retired. Corrections backed by evidence are applied and credited.
What we will not do is sell you a better record. See the editorial policy.
If you supply the trade
Malt, hops, yeast, water treatment, packaging, laboratory, equipment, logistics — the companies behind the beer are documented here as their own layer, because the story of who supplies an industry is part of the story of that industry.
If you want to talk about working together, write. There is no package to choose from yet, which is deliberate — we would rather build something around a real need than sell you a tier.
What breweries can pay for (and what they can't)
Your record is free. Building it out is free. That never changes.
What we do sell, to breweries that want it:
- Film.
- The archive is run by a production house. We make brewery documentaries — founder stories, anniversary films, the history of the beer in your tanks. Your archive record stays free either way; the film is the paid work.
- Your history, printed.
- Framed prints of your record, your ownership chain, your medal record. Taproom cards that link straight to your archive page.
- Attention.
- Know when people look up who owns your beer, and how often. A dashboard about your page — never a change to it.
- Partnership.
- Founding partners keep this archive independent and free. Partners are named and thanked. That is the entire benefit.
Partnership buys no editorial influence, ever. See the editorial policy.
