Canada, Ont: Duggan’s Brewery closes but Duggan’s No. 9 IPA will still be brewed at Cool Brewing Co.

Duggan’s Brewery near Victoria and Richmond is closed for good, Canadian Beer News reports.

Apparently, a disagreement with the landlord resulted in an eviction notice, and despite initial hopes that the brewpub would eventually reopen, the closure looks to be permanent.

On April, 20, sommelier Ben Shillow tweeted the following: “It's official Duggans is closed for good. There's going to be a lot of good staff looking for work in the city..tweet if you can help” [sic].

The news isn’t all bad, though. Toronto Star beer writer Josh Rubin reassuringly tweeted that Duggan’s No. 9 IPA will still be brewed at Cool Brewing Co. for LCBO distribution.
