List of breweries in Canada
- This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
This is an incomplete list of many of the breweries in Canada. Beer is a major part of the Canadian culture and it all starts in a brewery. This list contains breweries listed in a chronological order of the date when they first opened (the list is sub-divided by provinces). Closed breweries are not included in this list unless the individual brewery contains significance to Canadian culture and history (i.e. no breweries that open and close within a few years, failing to succeed in the industry). This list is an inventory and a historical resource of Canadian breweries.
