From the record

Summary

Bridged classic German lagers and modern West Coast styles, becoming a community hub in Metro Vancouver.

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

Tally’s Take

German lager and West Coast hops in New Westminster, and a genuine community room. Metro Vancouver has plenty of breweries and not many neighbourhood ones.

Ownership & corporate history

  1. Owned by Jorden Foss2014

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

    What the sources say

    Current brewery directory identifies Jorden Foss as Owner; 2024 first-person industry article describes Steel & Oak as the brewery he co-founded. Full current owner set remains partial after 2025 trademark assignment.

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