History

Opened in 1995, the company was bought out from the original Russell family in 2004 by Brian Harris and his four children.[1] Russell Brewing went public in 2005. In 2007, the brewery merged with Manitoba's Fort Garry Brewing Company. Russell Brewing is now a wholly owned subsidiary of BC-based Russell Breweries Inc.[2][3]

In 2013, Russell Brewing opened a brewery and two restaurants in Hefei, China, with plans to build a chain of brew pubs under the Russell brand. The new company is called Russell Breweries China Inc. and 20% of it is owned by Russell Brewing.[4]
