Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Canada's oldest brewery, Molson, started in 1786 in what city?

Answer: Montreal, Quebec

Molson's late 1990s TV ads "IAM Canadian" sparked national patriotism in Canada and helped increase Molson beer sales.

2. In 1820 Alexander Keith started a brewery with an India Pale ale so popular in which city that he became its mayor?

Answer: Halifax, Nova Scotia

The Keith's brewery was restored in the 1990s at its one and only location. A pub is now located in the old aging cavern.

3. In 1847, a little more than a decade after arriving in Canada from Ireland, John Labatt set up the Labatt brewery where first?

Answer: London, Ontario

In 1995, Labbatt's was purchased by a Belgian company, and through changes and mergers, ownership has changed several times since then.

4. The Sleeman family has brewed beer in which city, since 1847 (with a break, due to Prohibition)?

Answer: Guelph, Ontario

Sleeman's is a brewery that has been under the radar in Canada compared to the big breweries. In the 2000s it has merged with some other craft breweries to really grow in size.

5. In 1867, Moosehead opened their first brewery in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. After the Halifax explosion the brewery was destroyed and moved to what city?

Answer: St.John, New Brunswick

At the time this quiz was written, Moosehead was the largest fully Canadian-owned brewery.

Moosehead lager is nothing like what it used to taste like in the old days when it was in brown bottles. People say Moosehead now is a lot more enjoyable beer then it ever was.

6. In 1898 brewmaster Albert Mutz started Columbia brewery, the makers of the popular Kokanee glacier beer, in what Western Canadian town?

Answer: Fort Steele, British Columbia

Kokanee was bought by Labbatt's in 1974. Glaciers still feature largely in their marketing.

7. Oland Brewery, the brewers of Oland's Export Ale and Schooner Lager, in 1867 opened up a brewery that still exists today in which East Coast city?

Answer: Halifax, Nova Scotia

Oland is a big hit locally in Atlantic Canada. They bought Keith's in 1928 and were bought by Labbatt's in the 70s.

8. Big Rock brewery is located in what Canadian city?

Answer: Calgary, Alberta

Big Rock is popular by beer buffs in Western Canada. It was named after the Big Rock in Okotoks, Alberta - a glacier erratic that truly is a very big rock. Check it out if you are ever in the neighbourhood.

9. Pump House microbrewery can be found in what city?

Answer: Moncton, New Brunswick

The founder of the brand, Shaun Fraser, was a firefighter, hence the name.

10. Steam Whistle Brewery is found in which city, that has a famous structure dedicated in its name to a Canadian railroad?

Answer: Toronto, Ontario

Steam Whistle is featured in the Canadian board game "Brew-opoly".

The famous structure in the question is the CN Tower, named for Canadian National Railway.
