Newcastle’s Brewdog site is one of 38 across the country due to close.
Hundreds of jobs have been lost after BrewDog was sold in a £33 million deal to American brewer and cannabis group Tilray, which owns a raft of craft breweries in the US.
The Scotland-based brewer, which makes craft beers such as Punk IPA and Elvis Juice, had closed its pubs on Monday as it sought to confirm a takeover.
While 11 BrewDog outlets have been acquired by Tilray, a total of 38 outlets are set to close with immediate effect.
This includes the Newcastle bar, which can be found on Dean Street.
It is thought 484 jobs have been lost across the UK due to the closures.
Only 11 sites have been saved in the deal. These are:
- Birmingham
- London: Canary Wharf; Paddington; Seven Dials; Tower Hill; Waterloo
- Manchester: Peter Street
- Ellon DogTap
- Edinburgh: DogHouse; Lothian Road
- Dublin
