Magic Rock and Fourpure breweries are to become part of Keystone Brewing Group, already home to brands including Black Sheep, Purity, and Brew By Numbers.
Magic Rock was founded in Huddersfield in 2011, and Fourpure started life in London in 2013. Both brands had previously been under the umbrella of In Good Company.
“Keystone Brewing Group has secured an exclusive license with the brand owners to take these fantastic brands forward in the UK and worldwide,” said Keystone chief executive Mark Williams.
“The Magic Rock brewery has unfortunately closed, and we are naturally saddened at the loss of the Magic Rock site, and the employees and their families directly affected by this. The Magic Rock brewery had already ceased brewing due to cash issues, several weeks prior to agreeing the deal today, as such there was no viable business left.”
