A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

An Exchange District brewpub that helped make downtown Winnipeg somewhere you would go for beer, with a full brewery on site rather than a borrowed tap list. The Winnipeg Free Press reported its closure in February 2018, under two years after it opened. The record previously carried no closing year at all; that report supplies it.

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