The company currently produces several varieties of beer, some of which have received international awards for excellence.[1] With an output of 360 bottles and 480 cans per minute,[2] it is one of the larger regional brewers in western Canada. HistoryThe brewery's history extends back to 1927, when it was established as the Hub City Brewing Company.[3] In 1930 the plant was renamed the Western Canada Brewing Company, and in 1932 it was changed again to Drewery's Limited. In 1956, the brewery was acquired by O'Keefe Brewing (which would later become Carling O'Keefe) and was operated under that name until 1989, when Carling O'Keefe was itself acquired by Molson. Plans were initiated by Molson to close the brewery. However, in 1989, a group of sixteen employees and management succeeded in purchasing the brewery from Molson, at which point the Great Western Brewing Company was formed.[3] The brewery has operated independently since that time. ProductsThe Great Western Brewing Company produces several varieties of lager. These include:
In addition to its original products, the Great Western Brewing Company is the authorized brewer and distributor of Olympia Beer for the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The Great Western Brewery Company has entered in a number of international beer competitions. Some of the company’s products (Great Western Light, Great Western Pilsner and Great Western Premium) have received a Gold Quality Award at the Monde Selection’s World Quality Selections.[4] See also
