How Tally knows

Sleeman acquired Okanagan Spring in 1996 and Sapporo acquired Sleeman Breweries in 2006 for CA$400 million. Sleeman is the direct owner and Sapporo Holdings the ultimate parent; Sleeman remains a distinct operating company and is not collapsed into the Japanese group.

What we still don’t know

  • Partly answered: Sapporo Breweries Ltd. acquired Sleeman in 2006 through its wholly owned subsidiary Silver 2501 Canada Inc., and sits between Sleeman and Sapporo Holdings. Neither intermediate is claimed here, because neither is needed to answer who owns the brewery.
