We are heartbroken to share that Northern Pine Brewing will closing its door this Thursday, April 17th.
There has been a lot of change happening for us the past few months, but this closure was not part of our plans. We have been working very hard to stabilize operations after the takeover of the kitchen caused hardships for the business, and we’ve made great progress.
Selling the kitchen would be the final piece to this hard chapter. Negotiations were in place, and we were waiting on specific items to finalize before completing the sale and as of just a few days ago we thought everything was on track. We even had backup options if anything were to fall through. That is why we were stunned when we received notice late last week that our landlords would no longer be working with us with on the sale of the kitchen to remove remaining debt attached to it. We are even more stunned by the timeline that was given to us. As of right now, we don’t have answers to our questions as to what changed and why, just a date when we must vacate the building. Every decision we’ve made this past year was made to stabilize the business and to focus on what was working, and we thought all we had left was to sell the kitchen and that was on track. If we knew that anything had changed, we would have made different decisions and moves to provide a path forward.
