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?

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.
