Disappearing and 'in peril' breweries

Hearing on Twitter that Worsthorne Brewing has gone bump. Based in Burnley, Lancs, a brewery name that rings a bell but I don't recall having any of their beers.

Ah, that's sad news. I remember my first encounter with one of their beers: Old Trout, at the Fox & Goose in Hebden Bridge seven years ago. I've come across them from time to time since, but obviously not often enough to keep them afloat.

Shame. I remember their Brickworks Bitter being a solid session ale and a Chili Stout which (to me) was one of those "it shouldn't work, but it does" beers.

I also no longer have my pub bore staple story of how I named the Space Hoppy and that my original idea was for it to have a spring-mounted space hopper on the front of the pump clip which would then bounce up and down as the beer was pulled.

A trip down memory lane.

Yawn.... , actually Space Hoppy wasn't too bad, hope you didn't have anything to do with Hot Dog though.

Shocked to hear that Beatnik Republic has closed.Really liked this brewery.

I was just about to post this. Agree this one is a shame.

I'm surprised they won't carry on brewing even if just in smaller batches for their bar - that would mitigate some of the issues with transport costs etc by limiting distribution.

There are few breweries that I can't remember having drank them but found it hard to recall this one.My early records show I have had 10 beers from them but they must have been pretty average for me to have a blank memory .

Wow! Just read on another site that Kelham Island Brewery is to close (confirmed on their Facebook page). Apparently, the Fat Cat will remain open. How many more, I wonder?
