Ownership & corporate history
- Owned by Jesse Roberts2023
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
Current attributed testimonial identifies Jesse Roberts as Owner of Encore Brewing Co.; current Reflect Design material also identifies him as co-founder. Source: https://columbiaoutdoorschool.com/booking-information-class-to-camp-1
- Owned by Fred Williams2023
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
March 2023 pre-opening coverage explicitly identifies Jesse Roberts and Fred Williams as Encore Brewing Co. owners. Jesse is separately refreshed as current; Fred's 2026 continuity remains unproven. Source: https://www.e-know.ca/regions/cranbrook/encore-effort-will-add-to-cranbrooks-fun-quotient/
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.

The People
Behind the beer
A current Columbia Outdoor School testimonial identifies Jesse Roberts as Owner of Fire Hall Kitchen & Tap and Encore Brewing Co. Reflect Design's current project page independently labels Jesse a proud co-founder of Encore. This upgrades Jesse from company representative to a current named owner.
March 2023 e-KNOW explicitly identifies Jesse Roberts and Fred Williams as Encore Brewing Co. owners. No equally current 2026 source was found refreshing Fred's present equity.
