Dominion Brewery

Davies had brewed ale and porter varieties, but hired German experts to make lager.

[1] The name of the brewery was synonymous with its aim, to be available across Canada, which stretched more Ontario east to the Maritimes.

[2] Being especially proud of its win for an India pale ale product, the label of the beer was replaced with a replica of the award certificate and renamed White Label Ale.

[4] The brewery was sold in 1891 to British interests for CA$1.2 million, and Davies remained its managing director until 1900, when he retired from the brewing business.

[6] In 1936, Taylor moved production of Davies' beer to the Cosgrave Brewery.
