What the sources say
Michnik, founder of 33 Acres (Vancouver), in his own words about opening the Calgary location.

Open questions
- UnknownownerOwner not established. Searched 2026-10-01 (33 Acres' own site (home and Calgary pages)). 33 Acres' own site says 'we will be opening a 33 Acres Brewing Company in Calgary, Alberta', and describes 33 Acres as 'a family owned and operated brewery in Vancouver, BC'. Neither sentence says who owns the Calgary location, so no owner and no independence classification is recorded from them.
