Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 15, 2017.
The spearhead, which was Labatt’s main emblem between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, represents the company’s strength and its leadership role in the Canadian brewing industry. The hop, an important flavouring and stability agent in beer, recalls Labatt’s commitment to the values of authenticity, quality and sustainability. The gold colour commemorates the many medals won by Labatt products over the course of its history.
The iconic all-Canadian Streamliner truck, used for shipping and advertising from the 1930s to the 1950s, is emblematic of Labatt’s bold and innovative character as well as its pride in its heritage.
The horses and kegs recall those that the company used until the 20th century to transport its products. The Budweiser Clydesdales also evoke one of its brands, as Labatt has brewed and distributed Budweiser in Canada since 1980. Barley, used in the brewing process, has also been widely used as a symbol in Labatt logos and advertisements for decades. The wavy lines symbolize the water used in the brewing process and the Thames River in London, Ontario, next to which the brewery sits.
