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

    What the sources say

    Rhubarb Hill is the corporate successor to New Level Brewing Company Ltd.; AGLC still lists New Level Brewing as a current warehouse name. Direct current licencee/operating-name transfer should be obtained before calling Rhubarb Hill the licence holder. Source: https://ised-isde.canada.ca/cc/lgcy/fdrlCrpDtls.html?corpId=14637976

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