I would use name for the bricks and mortar thing, and operator for the company irrespective of whether they have a name for their brewery or not, this follows the style used for retail chains. I've just come across the St Francis Abbey Brewery, which brews Smithwick 'brand' beer (their own word), and is owned and operated by Diageo. I'm going with: industrial=brewery; name=Saint Francis Abbey Brewery; brand=Smithwick's; operator=Diageo; How one reconciles this with the use of the brewery tag on pubs, I don't know. At a first guess I would think brewery=Smithwick's, for their tied pubs as I'm guessing that is what it says on the sign.
