Province Brands of Canada
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
Province Brands of Canada is a beverage technology & branded products company. Our patent-pending technology creates a better class of beer.
For the first time ever, beer can be brewed from non-starch plant material – basically any kind of wood, shrub or grass, including plant waste (for example from a pulp mill), and including most types of food waste (for example “spent grains” left over after brewing the old way). Beers made with our technology are lower calorie, lower carb, and gluten free.
They contain beneficial compounds, including powerful prebiotics, not found in any other beverage. Brewers can experiment with new flavours, make beers from locally sourced materials, save up to 20% on their brewing costs, and even make a second batch of beer from their spent grains – all the while, reducing their carbon emissions & waste disposal costs.
Cannabis beverage companies can use the technology to make authentic non-alcoholic fermented beverages brewed directly from the industry’s primary waste stream (stalks, stems & roots) – beverages which stand out amongst competitors’ which need to be “infused” to intoxicate. Functional beverage companies can make great tasting gluten-free fermented beverages with beneficial compounds not found elsewhere.
This is a proven technology that can be put into practice at minimal expense. And it’s going to change the brewing industry forever..

Imagine you walked into your bottleshop and the friendly clerk knew who you were right away and remembered all your preferences. What you liked, what you didn’t like, and remembered all the previous bottles that he or she had sold you and what you had rated them after you finished them.
They then used all this info to select a number of new bottles which you hadn’t tried before, that they thought you would love. Not only that, but they handed you a card for each bottle with the story behind the makers, sommelier written tasting notes and food pairings, and its very own individually constructed matching recipe.
But just before you walked out of the store, they had a look had a quick look at your customer file and saw that you had tried a bunch of new regions, wine styles, production methods and even shared notes with friends over the last month, so they rewarded you with points to redeem for free bottles on your next visit.. .

This device works using a microscope connected to a smartphone and the Oculyze app to upload the images to the cloud where they are analysed by image recognition algorithms. These combine methodical pattern recognition with artificial intelligence and deep learning to offer quantitative real-time image analysis.
The cell counter has convinced yeast labs, breweries and wineries of all sizes around the world (Oculyze Better Brewing + Fermentation Wine). Oculyze MUH is the third turnkey product and allows for an on-site diagnosis of subclinical endometritis for cows.
The next step for Oculyze is to use this proven technology to bring the advantages of cloud based image recognition, like faster development time, lower cost and better image recognition, to other applications like blood or sperm counts, parasite detection in feces, asbestos fibre detection, emulsion analysis and bacteria detection, hereby continuing to add applications to its cloud based image recognition platform. The beauty of this solution is that it can be delivered in two ways: One is a brand new system developed specifically for an application, and the second is the combination of APIs and Apps that enable the company to upgrade existing hardware like scanning electron microscopes (SEM) or the good old lab microscope..
