Who owns this brewery?
The archive is still digging. That is a gap in the research, not a finding of independence.

From the record
Summary
A modern juggernaut of Toronto craft, gaining cult national status with its 'Jelly King' sour series and hazy IPAs. OCB profile confirms 2012 start and current Toronto locations; current beer shop + archive available.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
A Toronto brewery that files its wild ales like vintages — Intermodal is a three-year spontaneous blend, Motley Cru changes fruit each year, and the Old Primeval stouts are named for the barrel they sat in rather than the beer that went in. Everything dated carries its year on the label, which is a brewery telling you plainly that this one will not exist again.
