From the record

Summary

Active production brewery and teaching brewery at 207 S. College St. On Auburn University's campus. New Realm's first-party Auburn page states that beer is brewed on-premise on a 7-barrel brewhouse and that six taps are dedicated to beers made specifically for the Auburn location. Auburn University's Brewing Science program describes a three-vessel direct-fire brewhouse, research lab, one-barrel fermenters and student practicum/research use. Ribbon cutting/opening occurred Sept. 20, 2023. Modeled as a separate Alabama production location while parent-brand ownership remains with New Realm Brewing Company.

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

    What the sources say

    New Realm first-party sources establish parent/site-operator identity and Auburn partnership. Independence remains a first-party company claim until matched to a qualifying certification.

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