The Scottish brewer says that it has struggled with 'rampant inflation, soaring utilities costs and relentless cost-of-living pressures'.
“Unfortunately, the slowdown in trade on the Bermondsey beer mile, combined with exorbitant rent increases, has meant we have had to permanently close the much-loved Hawkes tap room," it says.
“This also meant we ceased production on the site, but little else has changed for Hawkes Cider; it remains steadfastly part of the BrewDog family, and will continue to be available in BrewDog bars, across the On-Trade and online, and we are working with a partner for production who we’ve built a strong relationship with over the past few years.”
The brewer says that it hopes to relaunch a cider-focused venue at another location in the city in the future.
