Tally’s Take

Mile Zero Brewing pours in Metchosin, British Columbia. The full profile — founding, people, beer library, travel — is still to be written.

Ownership & corporate history

  1. Owned by Michelle Morgan2022

    Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.

    What the sources say

  2. Owned by Michael Morgan2022

    Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.

    What the sources say

    Current first-party story states Mile Zero is owned and operated by husband-and-wife Michelle and Michael; municipal 2023 records identify Michael Morgan as owner.

  3. Owned by Dirk Slot2022

    Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.

    What the sources say

    Guild/opening-era materials described Mile Zero as owned and operated by Michelle, Michael and Dirk. Current first-party ownership now names only Michelle and Michael; Dirk's exact ownership end date/status is therefore HELD rather than invented. Source: https://bccraftbeer.ca/brewery/mile-zero-brewing/

Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
