Timeline
- 1893The Newfoundland Brewery's plant
"Opened in 1893, find us at 131 Circular Road"; "Molson bought Circular Road in the early 1960s from the Newfoundland Brewery Ltd." — so this is the Newfoundland Brewery Limited plant (newfoundland-brewery-ltd, TB-JQ3BHKV5), not Bennett's Riverhead brewery on Water Street West.

Bought by Molson in the 1962 division of the island's three brewers; India Beer, the old company's brand, and Black Horse are among the brands brewed here today.
