The vendor describes itself as independent and names Brian Titus as co-founder and president; The CANADA List and madeinca.ca both record it as Canadian-owned. Corporations Canada returned zero results, so this is most likely a Nova Scotia corporation, and the Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock Companies could not be read because it renders only in a browser. No acquisition or outside investor was found in the sources reachable today.

All beer and soda is brewed at the company's two Halifax Seaport sites, the 2014 production plant in the former CN Rail repair building and the original market brewery, on a brewhouse built in Prince Edward Island. The vendor calls itself 100% Seaport brewed and no contract brewing was found.

The vendor says its base malt is Maritime-grown and its specialty hops come from all over the world; the named hops on its flagship IPA (Denali, Azacca, Lemondrop, Idaho 7) are US varieties. The split is an estimate for a Maritime craft brewery: Canadian malt, water and most packaging, with hops mostly from the US and some from Europe and elsewhere. The online store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform.
