A brewery was established, and in 1824 Mr. Robbins was taken into purtnership, and for two years the enterprise was conducted by the three men named. Then the establishment was purchased by Judge Phinney of Lexington, it was then known as the Canal brewery after the Middlesex canal of those days. In May, 1841, Mr Phinney sold out to John Kent, an English brewer, who was then living in Boston, and Mr Kent ran the brewery until 1871, when it was purchased by W. T. Van Nostrand.[3]
