STATISTICS

Numbers don’t lie, and a great way to explore beer’s status
in Canada is by taking a look at some vital statistics. Beer
has a significant impact on Canada’s economy and
provides many jobs to the nation’s people. These statistics
also give a real insight into how the beer industry has fared
over the last few years and how it can improve.

ONTARIO

Ontario has the highest number of breweries in Canada, with 360 as of 2020. Brewers have provided jobs to Ontario’s people throughout history and contributed to its massive economy. Ontario was one of the worst hit by Prohibition. Still, since then, brewers have bounced back, with more breweries in operation now that supply the majority of the beer consumed by Ontario locals.
