From the record

Summary

Historical production brewery. Brandon Sun and Manitoba legislative records support the 1925 change to Premier Brewing Company. Brandon Sun reports it did not last beyond 1929. Preserved as a distinct corporate lineage stage rather than silently overwriting Brandon Brewing. CHECKED 2026-09-24: the Daly House Museum's authority record dates the Winnipeg syndicate's purchase and the Premier name to 1923, against the 1925 held here. Both kept.

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

Tally’s Take

The final stage of the second Brandon Brewing Company, renamed in 1925 — supported by both the Brandon Sun and Manitoba legislative records — and the Brandon Sun reports it did not last beyond 1929. The archive keeps it as its own corporate stage rather than silently overwriting Brandon Brewing, because a rename is an event and should be visible as one. Brandon's brewing ends here and at Empire in 1931, within two years of each other.
