Molson Coors says site, as well as national call centre in Wales, ‘no longer financially sustainable’

I love Doom Bar and I’m not alone since it’s among the bestselling cask ales in the UK, but it seems that the US owners are going for a quick payout by closing and asset stripping what’s left.

I wonder how long until they start building houses or an industrial park on the old site?

    How can one of the most ubiquitous and popular ales in the UK not be financially sustainable? What did they do to that brewery? Lump it with a bunch of debt or something and write it off?

        Molson Coors said it was exploring potential deals with other producers to keep making the beer, including brewing in other parts of the country. But Stainer added that any plans to produce the Cornish beers outside the region “would be a disgrace”.

        I think many real ale drinkers would say the site is part of the product. If it’s made in a different place by different people, it’s a different beer. Shame this company doesn’t seem to understand that.

          They make Coors, Miller Lite, and Carling. Safe to assume they don’t know and don’t care.
