“It’s with a mix of emotions that we announce the closure of Ora on 30th November,” the brewer said in their email newsletter this week.

The brewer told Beer Today: “Costs have risen dramatically in recent years, while demand has declined, particularly over the past few years.

“Additionally, the closure of a few long-standing customers has significantly impacted us, leaving us with outstanding liabilities and reduced stability.

“Despite our best efforts to adapt to these challenges, we have come to the difficult decision to close our operations.”
