From the record

Summary

Eastman repeat: current official/Travel Manitoba evidence continues to support The Public as an active Steinbach microbrewery at 301 Main Street. SteinbachOnline documents city approval for the micro-brewery/art-gallery project in May 2021; the existing 2021 opening year remains supported.

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

Ownership & corporate history

  1. Owned by Alexandra Ross2021

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

    What the sources say

    Co-owner verified; other owner/equity HELD. Pass source id: SRC-CA-1693

  2. Owned by Stephanie Klassen2021

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

    What the sources say

    2025 profile says Klassen co-owns The Public with Jordan Kroeker; 2021 reporting places her in founding co-owner group. Exact equity/legal entity unresolved. Source: SRC-CA-1885; SRC-CA-1886

  3. Owned by Jordan Kroeker2021

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

    What the sources say

    2025 profile says Klassen co-owns The Public with Jordan Kroeker; 2021 reporting identifies Kroeker as founding head brewer/co-owner. Exact equity/legal entity unresolved. Source: SRC-CA-1885; SRC-CA-1886

  4. Founded by Alexandra Ross2021
    What the sources say

    Resolves held claim HOC-0379 ("FOUNDING CO-OWNER / CURATOR"). One of four founding partners of Steinbach's microbrewery-and-gallery, built on the idea of a public square; she curated its exhibits and the travelling Tiny Gallery. Her own site frames her partnership as 2021-2024 — a possible exit worth a lead.

  5. Founded by Jordan Ross2021
    What the sources say

    Resolves held claim HOC-0371 ("FOUNDING CO-OWNER"). Named by the pass as a founder; the citable record says Alexandra Ross founded The Public 'together with her dear friends and husband' without naming him — the shared surname supports but does not prove the identification, hence C until a source names Jordan directly.

  6. Owned by Jordan Ross2021
    What the sources say

    Resolves held claim HOC-0371 ("FOUNDING CO-OWNER"). Founding partner, same caveat.

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