USA, PA: Southern Pines Brewing Co. to close remaining locations

Southern Pines Brewing Co., which rose over the past 11 years from three soldiers’ hobby to be Moore County’s most prominent and ambitious local craft brewery, announced on December 18 in two social media posts that it will close its Pennsylvania Avenue taproom and Carthage Buggy Factory on Dec. 31.

“This decision was not made lightly,” the company said in its first post regarding the sole Southern Pines taproom that remained open.

The company closed its flagship taproom on Air Tool Drive several weeks ago, along with the large brewing operation there.
