PORTLAND, OR – Another Portland brewpub has suddenly closed its doors. Burnside Brewing has been shut down, apparently after not paying their rent.
The landlord had the locks changed and posted a sign saying that Burnside hasn't made a payment in months.
On Monday, the brewery posted on its Facebook page that they'd be closed for the day because of the snow. On Tuesday, employees were told that they were being laid off. While they were told that they'd be paid, no timeline was set on when they'd receive their last paychecks and whether they'd be for the full amounts they are owed.
