	Labatt Brewing Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Labatt survived by producing full strength beer for export south of the border and by introducing two "temperance ales" with less than two per cent alcohol for sale in Ontario.
		In 1951 Labatt launched its Pilsener Lager; when it was introduced in Manitoba, the beer was nicknamed "Blue" for the colour of its label and the company's support of Winnipeg's Canadian Football League (CFL) franchise, the Blue Bombers.
		Labatt has sponsored the construction of many buildings in London, including Labatt Park, the John Labatt Centre, the John Labatt Visual Arts Centre at the University of Western Ontario, and the Elizabeth A. "Bessie" Labatt Hall at UWO's King's University College campus.
