Tally’s Take

Taylight Brewing pours in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The full profile — founding, people, beer library, travel — is still to be written.

Ownership & corporate history

  1. Owned by UNKNOWN post-2022 owner(s)November 2022

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

    What the sources say

    Taylight reopened Nov. 26, 2022 under new ownership after a one-year closure; owner names remain unresolved. Source: https://bc.thegrowler.ca/news/its-a-tough-biz-this-port-coquitlam-brewery-is-closing-after-just-three-years-in-operation/

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