Popular Manchester brewery, Beatnikz Republic, has announced that it has ceased trading. Owner Paul Greetham confirmed the news via a pained statement on the brewery’s website, citing a difficult recovery from successive lockdowns and increasing business costs.
Brewing from beneath the railways arches of Red Bank since 2017, Beatnikz Republic gradually expanded it’s Manchester portfolio - first with the opening of a Northern Quarter bar on Dale Street in 2018, and later with Lättsam, a scandi-inspired café bar at Spring Gardens, which opened its doors in December 2020 just before Manchester was plunged back into another lockdown.
In his statement, Paul clarified that Beatnikz Republic NQ Bar on Dale Street would still continue trading as normal. The bar is a separate company and therefore is not impacted directly by the brewery’s closure.
