From the record
Summary
The Darby brewery opened as Bandit Brewing around November 2014 under J.C. And Hilary McDowell. In 2022, after a trademark dispute, the business changed its name to Brigand and moved to a new taphouse model/location at 125 Hannon Lane. Current 2026 music/event evidence still lists Brigand Taphouse in Darby, so the brewery is ACTIVE. This is one continuous brewery lineage, not separate Bandit and Brigand brewery records.
