A brewery owned by named individuals has no ultimate parent. Empty here means there is nothing above them, not that the research is unfinished.
How Tally knows
Neil and Lavonne Herbst sold Alley Kat in February 2020 to Zane Christensen and Cameron French, two Edmonton-area buyers, with Neil Herbst staying on in daily operations. The owners are people, not a company, so Tally names them as owners and leaves the ultimate parent empty rather than inventing a holding entity — a brewery owned by individuals has no parent.
