Major brewers like Molson produce brands of beer which are now part of the Canadian identity, such as Molson Dry.

Canada has a rich tradition of beer brewing. While the Canadian beer industry is massive and plays an important role in Canadian identity, globalization of the brewing industry has seen the major players in Canada acquired by or merged with foreign companies, notably its three largest beer producers, Labatt, Molson and Sleeman.

History

Beer was first introduced to Canada by European settlers in the seventeenth century, as Canada had an ideal climate for making beer before refrigeration was introduced. The first commercial brewery was built by Jean Talon in Quebec City, in the year 1668. Over a century later a number of commercial brewers thrived, including some that became the staple of the Canadian industry: John Molson founded a brewery in Montreal in 1786, Alexander Keith in Halifax in 1820, Thomas Carling in London in 1840, John Kinder Labatt in 1847, also in London, and Eugene O'Keefe in Toronto in 1891. The very first patent to be issued by the Canadian government on July 6, 1842, was to one G. Riley for "an improved method of brewing ale, beer, porter, and other maltliquors." Settlers are people who have travelled of their own choice, from the land of their birth to live in new lands or colonies. ... Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, and rejecting it elsewhere for the primary purpose of lowering the temperature of the enclosed space or substance and then maintaining that lower temperature. ...

Prohibition in Canada did not last as long as in the U.S. and was largely over by the mid 1920s (apart from Prince Edward Island, where it ran from 1901 to 1948). Nevertheless, it had a similar effect of leaving very few brewers, and it was only in the late twentieth century that there has been a revival and microbreweries have started. Brewpubs are still illegal in some provinces, however. The term Prohibition, also known as A Dry Law, refers to a law in a certain country by which the manufacture, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages is restricted or illegal. ...

Bottle labelling

Government regulations require that all beer sold in Canada show the alcohol concentration (alcohol concentration by volume) on the label. A standard bottle of beer (12 imperial fl oz/341 mL and five percent alcohol by volume) contains 17.05 millilitres of alcohol. In most nations, the labelled alcohol percentage is either the average or maximum percentage allowed. However, as of 1927, most Canadian provinces require the minimum alcohol percentage to be labelled rather than the average. This move was meant to eliminate inaccurate nonalcoholic labelling as well as fraudulent advertisement.^[1] For other uses, see Concentration (disambiguation). ...

The rationale for standardizing alcohol content (since loosened and disproved) is that consumers would tend to select only high alcohol beers and the breweries would have a war with ever escalating alcohol content. In the USA this was solved by keeping the alcohol content a mystery to the consumer who does not make an extra effort. When alcohol content is shown on U.S. beer, it is often labelled by weight. Since alcohol is lighter than water, this can leave the mistaken impression that U.S. beer has much less alcohol, on average, than Canadian beer. A 3.2% beer in the U.S. (by weight) would be equivalent to a 4% beer in Canada (by volume). However, U.S. beer is labelled according to state laws, which unanimously dictate that the maximum alcohol percentage be labelled. As such, a 5.4% beer in the U.S. (by weight) may legally contain as little as 1% alcohol by weight. Nevertheless, many U.S. beers often label their alcohol content by volume.^[2]

The stubby bottle

Prior to 1961, Canadian beer was sold, and served, in two sizes, colloquially known as "quarts" and "pints," or, more accurately, "large" and "small." In fact, the larger bottle held less than twice the capacity of the "small" and was just 10% larger than an actual "pint." They were 22 and 12 Imperial fluid ounces (625 and 341 mL), respectively, whereas a true Imperial quart was 40 fluid ounces Over the years, some provinces banned the sale of beer in the larger bottle. For example, in Ontario in the 1950s only the pint could be sold, but in Quebec both sizes were about equally common. In 1961, both sizes were replaced, nationwide, by the standardized bottle, equal in volume to the "small" and affectionately known as the "Stubby." Year 1961 (MCMLXI) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... The 1950s decade refers to the years 1950 to 1959 inclusive. ...

Stubbies are a type of bottle which is shorter and with a slightly larger diameter than the now predominant longneck bottle. Starting in 1962 almost all beer in Canada was sold in stubbies until the beer companies chose to switch to the American-style longneck bottle, between 1982 and 1986. The last major label to be available in the stubby was Labatt's Crystal which switched to the longneck in the summer of 1986. The reason for the switch was because surveys showed that women did not like the stubby bottle, and to attract more female beer drinkers a bottle that appealed to them was developed. Proponents of "the stubby" note that its smaller shape (while retaining the same volume) means that it is easier to ship and store, and is less likely to break. Waterloo, Ontario's Brick Brewing Company and Phillips Brewing Company of Esquimalt, BC, have revived the use of the stubby as a marketing strategy, though they face higher production costs as a result. Brewers (manufacturing facilities) in general prefer the stubby bottle because the lower center of gravity makes the filling and handling of the bottle easier.

Labatt and Molson

The market in Canada for domestic beer is dominated by Labatt and Molson. Both breweries aggressively market their flagship brands (Labatt Blue and Molson Canadian, respectively) as well as produce niche brands and market American and other imports. Molson and Labatt beers are very popular in American markets on the Canadian border. Labatt Brewing Company Ltd. ... Molson Inc. ...

Types

In English Canada the most popular types are American-style lagers like Molson Canadian and pilsners like Labatt Blue. In Quebec ales such as Molson Export are also popular. Foreign and more exotic types of beers are becoming increasingly popular. American-style lager beer is a common variety of beer, a type of pale lager, traditionally made and drunk in North America, but also popular in much of the rest of the world. ... Pilsener or pilsner is a type of lager beer. ... For other uses, see Ale (disambiguation). ...

Ice beer

Ice beer (in name) originated in Canada, though it is essentially based on the German Eisbock style of beer. The first ice beer marketed in North America was Molson Ice [1] which was introduced in April 1993, although the process was patented earlier by Labatt, instigating the so-called "Ice Beer Wars" of the 1990s. [2] Paulaner Salvator Bock is a strong lager, which has origins in Munich, Germany. ... Labatt Brewing Company Ltd. ...

The process of icing beer is done by bringing the temperature of a batch of beer down to at or below the freezing point of water (32°F or 0°C), the greatest constituent of beer. Because water freezes at a higher temperature than does alcohol, the water becomes frozen and the alcohol stays a liquid. Because of this, a layer of ice can be skimmed from the surface of beer (hence the name "ice" beer). This creates a concoction with a higher volume ratio of alcohol to water and therefore creating a beer with a higher alcohol content by volume.

Magazines

Canadian Beer has become a growing part of the national culture with the addition of a number of microbreweries and craft brewers. Canadian beer is becoming more recognized as a standard of quality on a world wide level. As part of this recognition, Taps Magazine was launched first as a beer and wine magazine, but in 2007 focused solely on beer.

Microbreweries

Microbrewers produce beers that satisfy the connoisseur's eclectic tastes, like this cask ale.

As with the United States, a microbrewery industry has arisen in Canada, satisfying niche tastes and providing localized offerings. However, most microbreweries only supply local markets and nationally, generally only beer produced by large breweries is available. The microbrewery explosion that has occurred in the United States has not been duplicated in Canadian markets. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... Beer barrels outside the Castle Rock microbrewery in Nottingham, England. ... Cask ales on racks Cask ale or cask-conditioned beer is the term for unfiltered and unpasteurised beer which is conditioned and served from a cask, usually without additional nitrogen or carbon dioxide pressure. ... Beer barrels outside the Castle Rock microbrewery in Nottingham, England. ...

In British Columbia, craft brewers such as Spinnaker's Brew Pub, Swan's Brew Pub, Vancouver Island Brewery, Phillips, Lighthouse, Tree, Nelson, Raven, Storm, R+B and Howe Sound, amongst others, provide a wide variety of craft brews in various styles, while in Eastern Canada, brewers like MacAuslan, Unibroue, Cameron's Brewing Company and Wellington do the same. Central Canada and the prairies have a few very high quality craft brewers such as Wild Rose Brewing in Calgary and Alley Kat in Edmonton. However, there are quality brew pubs and a few microbrewers (like Saskatoon's Padockwood, who produce risky, high gravity IPAs and ales) to be found. Many Canadian craft brews are high quality products, in terms of their ingredients and preparation. Of the Canadian craft brewers, Unibroue in the East (a Sleeman's owned brewery specializing in Belgian style Ales) and Phillips in the West (a true micro whose beer most resembles that being produced by the innovative West Coast American craft brewers like Stone, Lagunitas, Sierra Nevada, Bear Republic and North Coast) are the most acclaimed.

Canadian beer in popular culture

Canadian beer has served as a staple in popular culture, especially comedy. Bob and Doug McKenzie's sketches in particular launched much of the attention; they featured in both a recurring sketch on SCTV and a Canadian beer-oriented movie, Strange Brew. Great White North album cover with Bob (left) and Doug McKenzie (right) Bob and Doug McKenzie were a pair of fictional Canadian brothers who hosted The Great White North, a sketch which was introduced on SCTV for the shows third season when it moved to the CBC in 1980. ... Second City Television, or SCTV, was a Canadian television sketch comedy show offshoot from the Toronto troupe of The Second City. ... Strange Brew is also the title of a song by the band Cream (released on their 1967 album Disraeli Gears), and of a compilation album - Strange Brew: The Very Best of Cream Strange Brew is a 1983 film starring the popular SCTV characters Bob & Doug McKenzie, played by Dave Thomas...

The movie Canadian Bacon by Michael Moore also spoofed cultural attitudes toward Canadian beer in which an entire riot in a hockey game ensues when John Candy's character claims that "the beer sucks." For the film see Canadian Bacon (movie). ... Michael Francis Moore (born April 23, 1954) is an American political-activist, a film director, author, social commentator, and political humorist. ...

More recently, Molson ran a series of themed I am Canadian commercials which garnered national attention. A screen capture of Joe from an I am Canadian commercial, with the maple leaf of the Canadian flag projected on the background I am Canadian was a popular series of Canadian television commercials aired in the 1990s and early 2000s advertising the Canadian brand of Molson beer in Canada...

An episode of That '70s Show entitled "Canadian Road Trip" is about the boys taking a road trip to Canada to buy Canadian beer. That 70s Show, an American television sitcom, centers on the lives of a group of teenagers living in Point Place, Wisconsin, a fictional suburb of either Kenosha or Green Bay[1] from May 17, 1976 to December 31, 1979. ...
