High-quality photos are the single biggest factor in getting more clicks. Use landscape shots (16:9) of your taproom, beer, and outdoor spaces. Minimum 1200px wide. We recommend at least 4 photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is listing my brewery free?expand_more

Yes — 100% free, always. There is no fee to be listed on BreweryFinder.ca. We generate revenue through advertising, which lets us offer free listings to every Canadian craft brewery.

What is a Featured Listing?expand_more

A Featured Listing is an optional paid upgrade that places your brewery at the top of search results and city pages. It's not required to be listed — it's just a visibility boost. Starting at $49/month, cancel any time.

My brewery isn't listed yet — how do I add it?expand_more

Use the 'List Your Brewery' link in the nav bar and fill out the submission form. We review new submissions within 2 business days. If your brewery is already in our database, use 'Claim Your Listing' instead.

What's the difference between listing and claiming?expand_more

Listing means your brewery profile exists in our directory. Claiming means you, as the owner or authorized representative, have taken control of that profile so you can edit it. You can only claim a brewery once per account.

Can I remove a review?expand_more

Reviews are community-generated and generally cannot be removed by owners. However, you can always respond publicly. If a review violates our community guidelines (spam, fake, harassment), report it to us and we'll investigate.

How do I report incorrect information?expand_more

If you see incorrect information on any listing (yours or another brewery), use the 'Report an Issue' button on the brewery page, or email us at info@breweryfinder.ca.

How are reviews moderated?expand_more

All reviews go through a moderation queue before appearing publicly. We check for spam, fake reviews, and guideline violations. Claimed brewery owners are notified when new reviews are approved.

Can I add multiple locations?expand_more

Yes — if your brewery has multiple taproom locations, each location gets its own listing. Contact us and we'll set up the additional locations linked to your account.
