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
Founded 1769 — BHS and Coflein date first records to 1769; the 1767 date on later signage is reputed and was not adopted. Closed following the Brains merger, but the exact final year remains unknown rather than forced to 1997 or 1998. Source: https://breweryhistory.com/wiki/index.php/Buckley%27s_Last_Days
