Squawk Brewing Co, founded in Manchester in 2013, has announced that it will be closing, with its last beer being released at the end of March.
On social media, the owners announced they were “hanging up our boots and laying to rest our mash shovel.
“To cut a long story short, our landlord needs to chuck us out for a few weeks for maintenance. Pretty important since it’s to make sure the Trans Pennine Express isn’t going to fall on our heads as it whistles past every day, exactly on time.
“Unfortunately, this means us ripping out the brewery and not making beer for a few months, which is not feasible funnily enough!”
They added: “We’ve had a good ten year run, some amazing times, met some of the daftest people we could hope to… but now it’s time to call it a day. Our last beer (Pavo, of course) will be coming out at the end of March, so it’s a pretty slow wind down at least!”
Pelican, Squawk’s taproom, will continue to trade as a separate business.
