History
Conrad George Oland was the son of John James Dunn Oland and Susannah Woodhouse Culverwell, the founders of Turtle Grove Brewery (later known as Army and Navy Brewery). Born in 1850, Conrad began his career as brew master by helping his mother create her homemade beer in a shed behind their home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. By 1911, after working in the United States Breweries, he relocated to Nova Scotia and became the brew master for A. Keith and Son Ltd. and subsequently for Turtle Grove Brewery. Conrad was killed in 1917 during the Halifax Explosion.
