Early Life[edit]

Founding of Moosehead Brewery[edit]
In 1867, Susannah Oland established "The Army and Navy Brewery" in Halifax. The brewery quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality ales. Susannah's original recipe, known as "October Brown Ale," became particularly popular among the local population.

Despite facing numerous challenges, including a devastating fire in 1878, the brewery was rebuilt and continued to thrive. In 1886, the business was renamed "S. Oland, Sons and Company Limited" in her honor.
Legacy[edit]
Susannah Oland passed away in 1885, but her legacy lived on through her family and the brewery she founded. Today, Moosehead Brewery remains a family-owned business and is recognized as a significant part of Canada's brewing history.
