About this data

This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on THE LION BREWERY, INC. from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry.

Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code.

OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected.
