Brew North

We Canadians love beer. We love it after dinner, or during the hockey game. We love it in a bar, or at the Calgary Stampede. We love to share it with a friend, or for a lonely summer night. Our history with the drink is long and colourful. Author Ian Coutts has documented it with his new book Brew North: How Canadians Made Beer and Beer Made Canada. As a piece of entertaining history, it’s top-notch, but the real gold is in the wealth of archival images, covering all manner of Canadian life. We at TORO are happy to share this gallery of vintage alcoholic ads and labels, just a handful of those found in Coutts’s book. Take a look, and pick up your copy of Brew North when it hits bookstores on September 4.
