Sleeman traces its brewing line to John H. Sleeman, who arrived in Ontario from Cornwall in 1834 and opened the Silver Creek Brewery in Guelph in 1851. The family business closed in 1933; John W. Sleeman revived it in 1988 with a cream ale taken from the family recipe book and sold in clear bottles. The brewery on Clair Road in Guelph supplies lagers and ales to every Canadian province. Since 2006 it has belonged to Sapporo and forms a group with Okanagan Spring, Unibroue and Wild Rose that calls itself the country's third-largest brewer.
