From the record

Summary

SFU pre-Prohibition timeline lists a distinct Fernie Brewery operating 1903-1905; kept separate from Fort Steele Brewing Co. And modern Fernie Brewing. PROBABLE DUPLICATE 2026-09-24: the Fernie brewery of 1900-1956/59 is on fernie-fort-steele-brewing-company-fernie-plant (TB-CWG5V147); no source shows a separate Fernie brewery beginning in 1903. A merge is a decision for a person with both open.
