- Owned by Andy Virk2010
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
Current-oriented Penticton brewery guide identifies Andy Virk as owner since 2010; Barley Mill's current site remains active and uses an Andy Virk contact address. Source: https://dobbernationloves.com/food-drink/best-penticton-breweries-craft-cider/
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
