An institution located in a less busy corner of the Rosemont district, opposite the site of the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec on Holt Street, the brewing cooperative MaBrasserie announced its closure Friday afternoon.

“As you already know, the brewing industry is not an easy environment, especially lately,” the company wrote on its social networks. There is no miracle solution to this crisis which affects us every day. Unfortunately, it is with a very heavy heart that we must announce to you that this crisis has got the better of us. » The board of directors cites the increase in rent, the increase in fixed costs and raw materials.

MaBrasserie was founded in 2015, when it was the first brewing cooperative in Montreal.
