The 1840s brick building (named Yellow Belly Corner) housing the YellowBelly Brewery in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the Water Street National Historic District, is steeped in history. The building was registered as a heritage structure in 2006 owing to its nineteenth century commercial vernacular design. The brewery, opened in 2008, carries on the name of the building, a reference based on oral history to Irish immigrants from Wexford County who wore yellow sashes.
