“Yellowhead Brewery takes its name from the famous Iroquois-Métis Pierre Bostonais, nicknamed “tête jaune” or “yellowhead” for his unusual fair hair. Tête jaune was a Metis trader with a colourful history, that first mapped a pass through the Rocky mountains that would later carry his name. As such, the name Yellowhead casts a long shadow on Edmonton and Alberta’s history.”
