Between 1788 and 1800, Molson's business grew quickly into one of the larger ones in Lower Canada.
Already in 1791, he sold 30,000 gallons of beer.
During these years Molson and his wife had four children, John junior, Thomas (who died shortly after birth), another Thomas, and William (Billy).

The year 1800 marks the first recorded use of (imported) bottles by Molson.
About this time arrived The Philosophical Principles of the Science of Brewing by Richardson, which marks the introduction of the thermometer and the saccharometer to the English craft.
By the start of the 19th Century, his small brewery had grown tenfold.
Molson now had the money to improve his business by buying new technology.
