- History
- KETTLE ACQUIRED IN 1950'S. WORT BOILED IN KETTLE PRIOR TO COOLING FOR FERMENTATION. THE BOILING STERILIZED THE WORT & PREPARED THE PROTEIN CONTENT FOR EFFICIENT FERMENTATION. MADE 10,000 GALLONS OF BEER. *NOTE* FURTHER RESEARCH IN 2001 UNCOVERED A 1970S LETHBRIDGE HERALD ARTICLE THAT STATES THIS KETTLE WAS USED BY THE BREWERY FROM 1908 TO 1972. THE KETTLE WAS REPLACED WITH A STAINLESS-STEEL ONE, AS SIXTY-THREE YEARS OF SCRUBBING AND CLEANING HAD WORN THE COPPER THIN IN SPOTS. (SEE PERMANENT FILE). ADDITIONALLY, NAME ON DOORS "LETHBRIDGE BREWING & MALTING CO." INDICATES A DATE OF ORIGIN FROM 1905-1918. SEE P19900020001-GA FOR LETHBRIDGE BREWERY HISTORY.
