NANAIMO, BC – After 11 years of business, Fat Cat Brewery has been sold by owners Bunny Goodman and Rob Haseloh.
In a statement released via the CAMRA Vancouver newsletter, Goodman wrote the following:
After 11 years Rob and I would like to announce that we have sold Fat Cat Brewery Ltd. to two young couples. Rob and I will be here at the brewery to help the new owners get acquainted with the brewery operations. These new owners are eager to get started; they have some good ideas and I believe they will do well.
Fat Cat has had difficulties in the past couple of years, with a closure announced and then averted in 2009. It’s hoped that the new owners will be able to turn things around for the brewery.
