Join Helen Antoniou for a talk on her new book, Back to Beer…and Hockey: The Story of Eric Molson, as part of the Atwater Library Lunchtime Series.

To most Canadians, the Molson name is part of the very fabric of Canada. Since 1786, when John Molson founded his first brewery in Montreal, it has become synonymous with beer, hockey, and philanthropy. Few realize, however, how close the family came in recent years to losing control of the enterprise. Back to Beer … and Hockey offers intimate details of the life and work of Eric Molson, who not only saved the company, but positioned it to thrive as a global brewery into the twenty-first century.

Helen Antoniou is an executive coach for corporate leaders and family business owners, as well as a volunteer board member in the areas of health, education, and the arts. She has practised corporate law and management consulting and holds master’s degrees from the universities of Paris II and Harvard. She is Eric Molson’s daughter-in-law.
