From the record
Summary
Ingested from the Yukon compendium (August 2026). Address, coordinates and independence as published there; not independently
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
A one-man nano operation doing oak-fermented, bottle-conditioned mixed-culture ales — 60 degrees north, skipping pale ales and lagers entirely to make the most patient beer in the territory. There is a Pixie Wild Ale, which for reasons of our own we approve of.
Ownership & corporate history
- Owned by Matt Waugh2017
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
Yukon Liquor Board approved Matt Waugh doing business as Deep Dark Wood Brewing Company. Current natural-person ownership was not independently re-registry-verified. Source: SRC-CA-1918
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
