Data sources by Province
The following page describes the data files and data sources that are captured in the Brewstats Database.
Newfoundland
For Newfoundland, there will be information coming from two sources: brewers and the liquor board.
Domestic Data
For Domestic Products, all the data is inputted online from the brewer. The Following brewers are the ones that currently report their sales:
- Big Rock
- Labatt
- Molson
- Moosehead
- Pump House
- Sleeman
- Storm
Report in Bottles, Cans and Kegs,(some report the on/off premise). We can store on/off premise without reporting it? please advise on this. Also, If they wanted to send us information with brand breakdown in CSV format in the future, can we upload it (of course, in the required format).
Imports
For Imported Sales, we get 3 reports.
- One from the NLLC
- One from Labatt
- and one from Molson
Each one consists of a country and a total value. There is no breakdown by brewer or container type. We get them in a breakdown of country UnitedStates, UnitedKingdom, etc. and we add them together to get the final volume for NFLD. Newfoundland Imports
Prince Edward Island
Data is provided by the provincial liquor board as well as by brewers.
For Domestic Sales, there are two sources for PEI. The PEILCC and the individual Brewers. Currently the following brewers are reporting:
- Labatt
- Molson
- Sleeman
- Pumphouse
- Moosehead
But we would not select them, as we would be mostly interested in sales from the liquor board.
For Imported Sales, we would get sales from the liquor board. (similar again, where the brewer data is not active)
Nova Scotia
Data is provided by the provincial liquor board as well as by brewers.
Data for Nova Scotia is primarily from the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation. We also receive data from the individual brewers:
- Big Rock
- McAuslan
- Propeller
- Unibroue
- Labatt
- Molson
- Sleeman
- Pumphouse
Again this is similar to PEI data, where we get data from the brewer but ultimately we use the data from the liquor board.

New Brunswick
Data is provided by the provincial liquor board as well as by brewers.
- Big Rock

Again, similar to PEI and NS, use the liquor board data while keeping the submissions also.
