The Great Western Brewing Company is a brewery located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is known for producing a variety of beers and has a rich history that dates back to the late 20th century. The brewery is a significant player in the Canadian beer industry and is recognized for its commitment to quality and community involvement.

History[edit]

The Great Western Brewing Company was established in 1989 by a group of sixteen former employees of the Molson Brewery in Saskatoon. When Molson decided to close its Saskatoon plant, these employees banded together to purchase the facility and continue brewing operations under a new name. This entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for what would become one of the most successful independent breweries in Canada.

Operations[edit]

The brewery is located in the heart of Saskatoon and has undergone several expansions and modernizations since its inception. It employs a team of skilled brewers and staff who are dedicated to producing high-quality beers. The brewery's operations include a state-of-the-art brewing facility, packaging lines, and a distribution network that serves markets across Canada.

Products[edit]

Great Western Brewing Company offers a diverse range of beers, including lagers, ales, and specialty brews. Some of their most popular products include:

  • Great Western Pilsner: A classic pilsner with a crisp, clean taste.
  • Original 16: Named in honor of the original 16 founders, this beer is a premium lager with a smooth finish.
  • Radler: A refreshing blend of beer and fruit juice, perfect for summer.

The brewery is also known for its seasonal and limited-edition beers, which showcase the creativity and expertise of its brewing team.

Community Involvement[edit]

Great Western Brewing Company is deeply committed to supporting the local community. The company sponsors various events and initiatives in Saskatoon and beyond, including music festivals, sports teams, and charitable organizations. This commitment to community engagement has helped the brewery build strong relationships with its customers and partners.

Sustainability[edit]
