From the record

Summary

Ingested from the Yukon compendium (August 2026). Address, coordinates and independence as published there; not independently

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

Tally’s Take

A cocktail bar in a 1938 log cabin that started brewing its own in 2019. Downtown Whitehorse's gathering place, and the only brewery in this archive housed in a building you could plausibly heat with the beer taps.

Ownership & corporate history

  1. Owned by James MaltbyDate unknown

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

    What the sources say

    2024 reporting explicitly identifies Maltby as owner of Woodcutter's Blanket. This does not establish his exact shareholding in 535717 Yukon Inc. Source: SRC-CA-1938

  2. Founded by Scott ShailerDate unknown

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

    What the sources say

    Current regional reporting identifies Shailer as co-founder; first-party brewery material identifies him as Brewmaster. Source: SRC-CA-1931; SRC-CA-1939

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