Ownership & corporate history
- Owned by Brandon Baerwald2021
Sources disagreeSources disagree — both are recorded below.
What the sources say
Complete legal names/equity HELD. Pass source id: SRC-CA-1410 Contested start date: 2022 and 2021 are both claimed for this relationship by different sources. Neither is asserted; the period is recorded as ending UNKNOWN. Municipal filing identifies president; current beer/media sources identify brewer/co-owner. Pass source id: SRC-CA-1409; SRC-CA-1410
- Founded by Brandon Baerwald2022
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0247 ("FOUR-OWNER FOUNDING GROUP"). A bat biologist who met co-founder Erin studying bats; opened June 2022 on Nicholson Street, Prince George's third microbrewery. Their beer took national gold in 2023.
- Founded by Erin Baerwald2022
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0248 ("FOUR-OWNER FOUNDING GROUP"). Co-founder with husband Brandon; also a bat biologist.
- Owned by Erin Baerwald2022
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0248 ("FOUR-OWNER FOUNDING GROUP"). Co-owner.
- Owned by Jane Fowler2022
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0250 ("FOUR-OWNER FOUNDING GROUP"). The pass knew only 'Jane' — she is Jane Fowler of Vancouver, a best friend of the Baerwalds who invested when startup funds ran short. owned_by, not founded_by: the sources describe investment, and CBC's 'opened along with a couple of friends' leaves founding involvement short of an assertion.
- Owned by Will Emery2022
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0252 ("FOUR-OWNER FOUNDING GROUP"). The pass knew only 'Will' — he is Will Emery of Vancouver, co-investor with Jane Fowler. Same restraint as her claim: investor-owner, founding unasserted.
