From the record
Summary
MaBrasserie was founded as a Montréal brewing cooperative in 2015. Current 2025 reporting documents a revival under new ownership after a late-2023 shutdown, and the Rosemont venue remains publicly active. Because the current official website shows inconsistent boilerplate content, status is accepted at B confidence rather than treated as an A-level brewery-owned source.
