Simon Fraser University archives B.C.’s extensive beer history
“We have bottles, coasters, documents, architectural designs and labels,” said Melanie Hardbattle, an SFU Archives employee.In just over a year, the archived history has grown to include files and photos dating back to the origins of B.C.’s beer history, including independent brewers that opened shop in the 19th century. Two-hundred-and-thirty breweries have since opened up shops across the province.
“You realize the breadth of the history of brewing in B.C. when you see how many breweries there were up north and in the Interior, in Vancouver and Vancouver Island,” said Richard Danc, with SFU Archives.Much of the collection chronicles the renaissance period over the past 40 years that started with John Mitchell, who’s credited as the first craft brewer in Canada.
SFU Archives has the goal of trying to uncover everything researchers can to map the history of beer within the province.
