Who owns this brewery?
The archive is still digging. That is a gap in the research, not a finding of independence.

What the sources say
Sudbury company acquired into Doran's northern operations in 1960. CONTRADICTION (2026-10-09): Jason Marcon, whose column is this event's source, reads the 1960 change as a consolidation under a single ownership structure, not a discrete acquisition (correspondence to the archive, 2026-09-22; his original notes were not available to him). Kept as recorded until corporate records settle the mechanism.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
