Thought I would share a couple of bottles from Fort Frances, a small town in Northwestern Ontario on the International border with the US. Closest state being Minnesota.
The first is a 6.5 oz bottle from Fort Frances Brewing Co. Ltd. This is likely a 20-30s bottle.
Opened for business after prohibition was lifted in Ontario in 1925 and they continued on until a buyout in 1960 or so. It was one of a handful of breweries that also bottled soda beverages.
The second is a 10oz Acl from Royal Beverages of Fort Frances labelled “High Top”. Bottle from the early 50s and has a fly fisherman graphic to honour the area’s great fishing.
Any other info on these or other bottlers from the area would be much appreciated.
