E-Malt.com News article: Canada, BC: Vancouver’s CowDog Brewing Company announces closure by the end of June

After opening in early 2024, Vancouver’s CowDog Brewing Company has made the unfortunate announcement that it will be closing its doors, Daily Hive Vancouver reported on June 17.

“With heavy hearts, we’re announcing that CowDog Brew Company will be closing its doors at the end of this month,” shared the brewery.

For those unfamiliar, CowDog Brewing opened in the former location of Callister Brewing’s Tap House in East Vancouver. It was the passion project of owner Michael Hodgson and his four-legged chief treat-tasting officer, Louis, a.k.a. CowDog.

However, CowDog Brewing plans to go out in style with one final get-together on June 29.

“Before we say goodbye, we invite you to join us for one final event on Sunday, June 29 from 1 to 4 p.m. — a fundraiser for Lifting Stars Veterinary Homecare and their amazing Angel Fund,” said the brewery. “We’ll be tapping a special saison brewed in collaboration with Lifting Stars, and we want to go out on a high note by selling out the keg for a great cause!”

“Bring your growlers, bring your friends, bring your well-mannered dogs, and help us make this last hurrah something truly special. Let’s raise a glass (and some funds) together one more time,” concluded CowDog Brewing.
