Who owns this brewery?

How Tally knows

Columbia Brewery has brewed Kokanee at Creston since 1959 and was bought by Labatt in 1974. Labatt is now a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, so the chain has two rungs and Tally states both rather than collapsing a fifty-year-old Canadian acquisition into a later global one. The owner named is the company, Labatt Breweries of Canada, not the Labatt brewery record of a similar name.

What we still don’t know

• Trade reporting refers to the Creston bottling line closing. That is a site and lifecycle question, not an ownership one, and is not asserted here.
• The archive holds both columbia-brewery-kokanee (companyId labatt) and columbia-brewery (parentLabel 'Labatt (AB InBev)'). Flagged, not merged — rule 10.
