Carling-O'Keefe

Carling O'Keefe was a brewing company in Canada that is now part of Molson Coors. The company's origins can be traced to Canadian Breweries, which bought the Carling Brewery in 1930 and the O'Keefe Brewery in 1934. Canadian Breweries purchased numerous other brewers – some to shut down, and some solely for their brands. In 1969, Canadian Breweries was acquired by a subsidiary of Rothmans, which renamed the company as Carling O'Keefe in 1973. The company was sold in 1987, then merged with Molson in 1989.
The brewery owned the Québec Nordiques, then in the World Hockey Association during the late 1970, and then in the National Hockey League after the two leagues merged. The brewery would sell the team prior to the company's merger with Molson.
