From Wikipedia:
John Kinder Labatt (1803 – 26 October 1866) was an Irish-Canadian brewer, and the founder of the Labatt Brewing Company.
Born in County Laois, Ireland to Valentine Knightley Chetwode Labat (1761-1813), an Irish-Huguenot and Jane Harper Labat and little is know of his early years.
Labatt immigrated to Canada in the 1830s and initially established himself as a farmer near London, Upper Canada. In 1847 he invested in a brewery with a partner, Samuel Eccles, launching "Labatt and Eccles". When Eccles retired in 1854, Labatt acquired his interest, and renamed the interest the "London Brewery". He was assisted by his sons Ephraim, Robert, and John.
Beyond the brewery, Labatt was a town councillor for St David’s Ward from 1850 to 1851 and a member of the London Board of Trade, as well as founding the London and Port Stanley Railway.
Upon his death his son John Labatt purchased the brewery, which grew eventually to one of the largest in Canada.
John Kinder Labatt (1803 – 26 October 1866) was an Irish-Canadian brewer, and the founder of the Labatt Brewing Company.
He was born 1803 at Mountmellick (County Laoighis, Republic of Ireland), eldest of the seven children of Valentine Knightley Chetwode Labat (Labatt), whose Huguenot ancestors came from the Bordeaux region of France, and his wife Jane; d. 26 Oct. 1866 at London, Canada West.
The John Labatt Centre, home of London's Ontario Hockey League team, the London Knights, is named after him.
- Labatt Brewery
In 1847, a little more than a decade after arriving in London, Ont. from Ireland, John Kinder revealed in a letter what was to be his life-long calling: "I have been considering this brewing affair for some time," he wrote to his wife, "and think it would suit me better than anything else..."
That same year, he purchased London's Simcoe Street brewery in partnership with Samuel Eccles and by 1855 had become the brewery's sole proprietor. The brewery was later renamed John Labatt's Brewery, marking the beginning of one of Canada's largest and most successful companies.
