Founded Winkler's first craft brewery in 2024, aged 22 — the sixth-generation John Trinke on a family farm held since 1878; grain-to-glass concept. The pass wording added 'Trinke family / local investors', which the cited sources do not confirm — kept as a research lead, not asserted.

What the sources say
Resolves held claim HOC-0043 ("FOUNDER/PRESIDENT + OWNERSHIP GROUP PARTIAL EVIDENCE"). Founder-owner; beer sold through Manitoba Liquor Marts from October 2024.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
