Sleeman Breweries traces its roots to 1836 when John H. Sleeman founded the Stamford Spring Brewery in Ontario, later expanding to Guelph with the Silver Creek Brewery in 1851. After Prohibition-era convictions ended the original family enterprise in 1933, great-great-grandson John W. Sleeman revived the brand in 1988, reopening a brewery in Guelph, Ontario. In 2006, Japan's Sapporo Breweries acquired Sleeman for CA$400 million, making it one of Canada's top three brewing companies under Japanese ownership.
