From the record
Summary
Multi-location brewery — manufacturer/current reconciliation. The company is headquartered outside Manitoba and operates multiple breweries, but its Winnipeg location is a genuine production brewery: the current official site states flagship and seasonal beers are brewed on-site on the second floor at Hargrave St. Market. Manitoba's current food-processing permit list independently lists LOW Brew Co as a Winnipeg bottling facility. Opening year left UNKNOWN because available sources conflict on 2019 vs 2020.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
Kenora's brewpub, in a converted firehall, serving cottage country on the Manitoba border. It briefly held a Winnipeg outpost — that one closed; this one didn't.

BREWPUB / TAPROOM
Operated by Lake of the Woods Brewing Company
Site detail
'Our Downtown Winnipeg Hargrave St. Market Brewery' at True North Square — the site the archive had recorded as the brewery's city. Manitoba, not Ontario: a site outside the brewery's own province.
These are different physical places. A brewery moving premises is not the same brewery continuing, and the archive keeps them apart.
