Moosehead Breweries traces its roots to 1867 when Susannah Oland began brewing her popular October Brown Ale in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, incorporating as John Oland and Son. After the 1917 Halifax Explosion destroyed the original brewery, the Oland family relocated operations to Saint John, New Brunswick in 1928, where the brewery stands today. Privately held and still operated by the sixth generation of the Oland family, Moosehead is Canada's oldest independent brewery. The Moosehead Lager brand was launched in 1931.
