History

The British American Brewery was located on Riverside Dr. and Bruce St. The Brewery opened in 1883 and was known most for its production of Cincinnati Cream Ale. The brewery later operated as Brading Brewery, Canadian Breweries and Carlings. The brewery closed in 1969 when the building became the Art Gallery of Windsor, and later the temporary home of Casino Windsor. The building has since been demolished and replaced with a new home for the Art Gallery.
