Ale/Lager
[edit]Clancy's Amber Ale: Red lager
That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't it be a red ale? --CannedLizard 04:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Absolutely. I'll change it. --unsigned

[edit]Isn't Andrew Oland now running the brewery? I thought Derek had stepped aside now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.246.168 (talk) 17:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Not complete
[edit]I don't believe this history is complete. For instance, the Nova Scotia brewery remained Oland's Brewery, and you can still buy Oland's Export Ale and Oland's Schooner Lager in Nova Scotia although the brewery itself was taken over by Labatt's years ago. (Olands had previously taken over Keith's Brewery, brewers of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, and Labatt's got that in the bargain.) The two breweries had split into different and independent businesses long before that though. The New Brunswick brewery actually didn't open in Saint John. It was the Town of Lancaster at the time the brewery opened and this is reflected on old labels. Saint John took over Lancaster some time later. (Ironically, when the brewery first opened, moose were so scarce as to be almost extirpated in New Brunswick; they have since made a comeback.) Moosehead Pale Ale, often called Moosehead Red Label, was the original Moosehead, and is still hard to find outside the Maritime Provinces. Moosehead Lager was specifically invented for export to the US -- "the Moose is Loose" campaign -- and for years, you couldn't buy it in the province where it was brewed. It was originally called Moosehead Export when it was finally offered locally. Alpine was the original lager it sold locally, and it remains popular in northern New Brunswick. Moosehead also brewed a more flavorful beer, Moosehead Ten Penny Ale, but this was discontinued years ago.

Also, part of the page discusses the death of Richard Oland, but does not explain how he was related to the company. user Brian125.
- I have worked on this article extensively, and it is now complete. It would take an entire book to include the entire history. That is not possible but we have covered the most important aspects, including details of the murder. Peter K Burian (talk) 23:03, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Moosehead Breweries vs Moosehead Brewery

1867, defined as the same year as Canadian Confederation
[edit]![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article. |
I'm suggesting to qualify the date of Moosehead's founded in 1867, to state that it happened the same year as Canadian Confederation. I'm suggesting the second sentence in the first paragraph now read: The brewery was founded in 1867, the same year as Canadian Confederation, and is still privately owned and operated by the Oland family, now run by the family's sixth generation. Reference for the founding of the first Oland family brewery: Page 16, Last Canadian Beer: The Moosehead Story, by Harvey Sawler. Reference for 1867 being the same year as Canadian confederation: The new Dominion of Canada history page on Canada.ca - https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/history-canada.html. Reference for Moosehead Breweries Limited being run by the sixth generation: About section of Moosehead.ca - https://moosehead.ca/about, and review of generational lineage: Page 170, Last Canadian Beer: The Moosehead Story, by Harvey Sawler.
Not done: please state why this is an improvement. DrStrauss talk 21:41, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
