Ice Spring / Rossland Spring Brewery
Rossland, British Columbia, Canada · Est. 1895
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Two names on one SFU continuity row: Ice Spring from 1895 to 1900 and Rossland Spring from 1895 to 1903, overlapping in a way the source does not resolve and the archive does not tidy up on its behalf. Eight years at the outside. Rossland was supporting four breweries simultaneously in the late 1890s, which is what a gold-mining town at full tilt looks like from the inside.
