Tally’s Take
Angry Hen Brewing pours in Kaslo, British Columbia. The full profile — founding, people, beer library, travel — is still to be written.
Ownership & corporate history
- Founded by Shirley Warne2017
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0039 ("FOUNDER / FORMER OWNER"). Opened 2017-12-17 in Kaslo. Warne was among BC's first female craft brewers — Steamworks Brewpub's first brewer in the 1990s — before founding Angry Hen.
- Owned by Shirley Warne2017
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0039 ("FOUNDER / FORMER OWNER"). Founder-owner from opening. BC Ale Trail reports new owners ('Cassie and Rogan') have since taken over — surnames and date unestablished in reachable sources, so the transfer stays a research lead rather than an event.
