Tally's Beer UniverseThe Brewery Archive

A gateway for all who shape beer

Welcome to Tally's Beer Universe

Are you part of the brewing world? Help us document it.

If you make it, grow it, supply it, study it, preserve it, write about it or pour it — there is a place for you here.

Our mission

To collect, celebrate and connect the people, places and stories that have shaped beer — and those who are shaping its future.

Tally

Update the archive

Breweries open, close, move, merge and change ownership. If you represent an organisation documented here, we want to hear from you.

Media & press

Interviews, comments and research assistance. Breweries, suppliers and associations can send releases directly.

Help preserve brewing history

A directory records what is open. An archive keeps what closed — photographs, ledgers, labels, menus, oral histories.

Correcting a record is always free — for a brewery, a guild, or a stranger who noticed a wrong date. Charging for accuracy would freeze every record nobody paid for. Submissions are reviewed before inclusion.

Tally's B2B

Everything behind the beer

The archive is building a record of the companies that make brewing possible — because the supply chain is where a great deal of brewing history actually happened.

Partnership does not influence archive research, ownership records, historical conclusions or editorial findings.

A partner brewery is recorded exactly as the evidence says, including when that is unflattering, and a partner's competitor is recorded the same way. If that stops being true the archive is worth nothing to anybody, including the partner.

Researchers, historians & authors

The archive would rather be corrected by a specialist than admired by a crowd. The export is plain, self-contained files and has always been meant to be depositable.

Put brewing history on the map

For tourism boards, trails, destinations, cities, historic sites and festivals. A stop earns its place because something happened there.

Verified industry contributor

Not a paid badge and not for sale. Earned by giving the archive things it could not otherwise establish. Verification does not indicate sponsorship.

Help build the universe

The more we know, the richer the story. Add your brewery, your beers, your history — or tell us what we have wrong. Nothing here was found by an algorithm.
