Brewery has long history in city

When the Labatt Brewery closed its doors in April 2005, the Royal City said farewell to the oldest continuous brewery in the province.

Historian and author Jim Wolf said the Labatt Brewery site has had a brewery on it since 1890, when Jameson, Cochrane and Co. built their brewery on the site.

Wolf said the history of the breweries on the site is rife with rich stories of the business operations and the people who operated them.
