Sooke Brewing Company

Ownership & corporate history

1. Founded by John Adair2017
   What the sources say

   Resolves held claim HOC-0018 ("Founding ownership group"). Head brewer (ex-Parallel 49, Gladstone) and part owner; opened late fall 2017. The pass's 'four partners' are partly named — Carl Scott, Anton Rabien, Trevor Wilson (research leads); a doctor, forester, pilot, mechanic and brewer by the Times Colonist's telling, so one partner remains unnamed.

2. Owned by Five-owner Sooke Brewing ownership groupDate unknown

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

   What the sources say

   Current first-party site explicitly states there are five owners with multi-generational Sooke ties; names are not all supplied.

3. Owned by John AdairDate unknown

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

   What the sources say

   John Adair's first-person history says four partners enabled 'our own brewery'; later interviews identify him as part owner. Current 2026 ownership continuity is not separately proved.

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