Canada, AB: Hog’s Head Brewing allegedly has shut down

Hog’s Head Brewing – a St. Albert-based brewery that also brews the Amber’s and Roughneck beer brands – appears to have suspended operations, Canadian Beer News reported on June 30.

No official announcement has been made

In addition to people’s talk, there are a few key facts that lead to this conclusion. The brewing staff appears to have all been let go. The head brewer is working elsewhere and no one can tell if a new brewer has been hired. Recently, the Hog Head Brewing’s brewhouse was on sale at probrewer.com, as was a bunch of other equipment and supplies, including kegs and their famous beer trailer. The website has become an unrecognizable mess.

On top of this, Hog’s Head Brewing’s Twitter and Instagram accounts have been shut down, and its Facebook page has been taken over by a disgruntled investor that posted about the brewery’s financial difficulties several times in April.

It’s unknown at this time if the Hog Head Brewing’s brand or brewery will be revived.
