Tally’s Take
Detonate Brewing Company pours in Summerland, British Columbia. The full profile — founding, people, beer library, travel — is still to be written.
Ownership & corporate history
- Founded by Nathan Rosin2017
What the sources say

- Owned by Nathan Rosin2017
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0027 ("Founder / prior owner"). Owner and brewmaster until the Covid-era closure in early 2022.
- Owned by Jonah Cadieux-Johnson2022
Open questionRecorded, not yet proven. It stays open until a source settles it.
What the sources say
Official/Guild sources document purchase and current brewing role.
- Transferred to Jonah Cadieux-Johnson2022
What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0027 ("Founder / prior owner"). Rosin 'passed the torch' to Cadieux-Johnson in 2022 after closing the doors — the source's wording does not establish whether this was a sale, so the neutral transfer mechanism is used at confidence C.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
