USA, MI: North Center Brewing Co. announces closure

North Center cited several reasons for the closure, noting that while it may be a shock, these factors have been piling up for a while.

"Over the last year we have navigated some difficult waters and no longer find ourselves being able to deliver a sustainable product," the brewery said in a post announcing the closure. "The craft beer industry is in a tough spot and between losing some key folks over the last year to rising labor and materials costs to an incredibly competitive distribution market, we have decided it is time to end our run."

North Center Brewing was at 410 N. Center St. in Northville.
