Lucky Lager Breweries Ltd. — Victoria brewhouse
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Tally's Take
Why this matters
The end of the Phoenix story. The City of Victoria Archives identifies the old Phoenix Brewing plant as the site later run as Lucky Lager and then Labatt's, with archival photographs placing a Lucky Lager brewery in Victoria in 1959 and the early 1960s. Exact start and end dates are not established, and they are left unknown rather than estimated — the building's long second life is documented, the corporate chronology behind it is not.
