Tally's Take
Why this matters
McCord Stewart Museum states the Dawes Brewery was founded in 1826 by Thomas Dawes. City of Montréal heritage records connect Dawes to Joseph Chapman's earlier brewery, which Dawes took over after Chapman's death in 1836. Dawes later became one of Montréal's major brewers and joined National Breweries in 1909.
