• Notes

  ....In the early 1900s, Joseph Porter and his brother-in-law Frank Wilde operated a brewery at 18 Shade St., known as P & W Botanical Brewers. They brewed ginger beer for a couple of decades and sold it in pottery jugs. The first lot of jugs that came from England misspelled Galt. The jugs had Galt embellished on them. The next shipment got the name right, but the price of the jugs kept increasing until the small brewery couldn't afford to buy them anymore.... https://www.cambridgetimes.ca/opinion-story/3365419-the-wild-world-of-brewing 2013
