Canada, ON: Union Jack Brewing shuts down brewery and retail store

Soo Today reports that Union Jack Brewing has shut down its brewery and retail store in downtown Sault Ste. Marie.

Brewery owner Jordan Jack tells the paper that a number of factors contributed to the closure, including rejection of the brewery’s brands by the LCBO, and Jack’s commitments at his positions as owner of a local Pharmasave franchise and director of the West End Walk-In Clinic.

The building and brewery facility are currently up for sale for C$799,000, although Jack says that if it doesn’t sell within a year, he may rebrand and relaunch the brewery at a later date.
