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?

I know several people who work there and I used to live within sight of the building. I remember when Sharps was a small but popular micro-brewery just starting to get national recognition.

I predicted that this would happen as soon as I heard Molson-Coors were moving in. Not quite sure how a business that turns over £16m and makes 100,000 barrels a year is unsustainable. Hopefully someone can buy the site and continue producing.
