From the record

Summary

City of Victoria Archives explicitly identifies the former Phoenix Brewing Company plant as later Lucky Lager and Labatt's Brewery; archival photographs identify a Lucky Lager Victoria brewery in 1959/early 1960s. Exact operating start/end dates remain UNKNOWN pending company chronology.

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

Tally’s Take

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.

Where it brewed

  1. 1921 Government Street / Government-Chatham area, Victoria, BC
    Victoria, British Columbia
