Default The history of Alberta's Beer

Here is a short documentary 3 part mini series of the history of beer in Alberta. I figured there are lots of beer drinkers that might like to know more about the beer they love so much. The Beer Pioneers from 1884 to 1984 is interesting.

Have a beer and enjoy...Support your local Alberta made beer..

I love beer - the Curse of the Working Class - for time immortal.

The Ruling Class in Alberta wasted no time getting into the brewing industry. They made some dam fine beers in order to keep the workers happy and productive - and the Natives docile.

Thanks for the link, It really made me thirsty, think I'll go down to the new brewery (Canmore Brewing Co.) and have a couple of pints of Georgetown Brown Ale yum,yum.

I liked the statement "Beer can be transformative".

Yes, yes it can be... unfortunately. LOL

have to say, that's pretty cool history. It's under an hour for a few episodes, won't kill you to learn some history of Alberta. Well done.

Default Beer History

Thanks for the link, really good series, and better watching with a few suds. Love Alberta history and the old Alberta beer. Also like the entrepreneurial spirit that uses local produce and labour. Make Alberta great again !
