From the record

Summary

SFU dates Jones and Cahn Brewery 1865-1868 in Barkerville.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

Three years, and SFU's dating is the whole record. It ran concurrently with both of Barkerville's other brewing lineages, which means the town was supporting three breweries at the same time in the mid-1860s. Nothing else about it survives here — no brewer beyond the two surnames, no beers, no reason recorded for the ending.
