Tally's Take
Why this matters
BC Pass 57. Opened in Chemainus after a long development period and operated for just over seven years. Closed permanently January 10, 2024. The same Chemainus Village Square brewery location later became Serious Brewing Company in 2025; facility succession does not imply corporate continuity.
