Canada, BC: Callister Brewing announces plans to close down

The longest-running partner brewery at Vancouver�s Callister Brewing has announced that it is ending its run and closing down, the Canadian Beer News reported on July 3.

Real Cask Brewing � a project from brewer Adam Chatburn focussed on cask-conditioned ales � was one of the original trio of co-brewers at Callister when the co-op-modelled brewery launched in 2015, and has remained for three year-long terms while the other two slots have rotated annually.

In an article written for the latest issue of What�s Brewing Magazine, Chatburn says that while he enjoyed his time working on Real Cask, he feels that it�s �time to move on and let someone else use Callister as a launching pad for their brewing dreams,� and that he is �considering a little break from the BC craft beer community� before deciding on his next move.

A closing party for Real Cask will be taking place at Callister on Sunday July 8th starting at 1:00 PM.

The end of Real Cask follows the recent shutdown of Callister�s two 2017-18 partners, MorningStar Brewing and Night Owl Brewing. New partner brewers for 2018-19 are expected to be announced soon.
