Moosehead backs away from opening small-batch brewery in Saint John
SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Moosehead Breweries says it’s no longer going ahead with plans to build a small-batch brewery on the waterfront in Saint John, N.B.
In June, the company said it was looking for a building to house the brewery, which was also to include a tap room and retail outlet.
Moosehead says it reached the decision after a re-evaluation of the overall project costs. It says it become apparent that the project could not be done within the planned budget.
The company says it will take a few months to “develop alternate plans” but gave no further details.
