beer fact of the day

is it true that granville island brewing was canada's first microbrewery when it opened in 1984?

jan zeschky said so in the province, so it must be true
but can you blame me for being incredulous?
incredulous that gib was the first
and incredulous that it happened when i was 15 and it took me so long to discover microbrews!

but wait!  howe sound says on their website that john mitchell and frank appleton started the first craft brewery in north america in 1980, in horseshoe bay...

so you tell me
which was first? 
how many more years have i lived without knowing the joys of craft brewed beers?
