Dow Breweries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dow Breweries was a Quebec brewing company. It was acquired by Carling O'Keefe and stopped its activities on March 31, 1966.[1] The Dow brand, formerly owned by Molson, disappeared from the Canadian market in the spring of 1997. Brands brewed by Dow included Dow Ale, Kingsbeer Lager and Black Horse Ale.

At the urging of Board president and academic Pierre Gendron, Dow Breweries supported the construction of the Montreal Planetarium, originally calling it "Dow Planetarium". It was completed in 1966 as one of many projects for the Canadian Centennial.
