A casual stroll down Victoria Street this afternoon confirms a rumour we first heard in our comments: Creemore Springs, which is owned by Molson Coors under its Six Pints Specialty Beer Company umbrella, looks to be setting up shop in the building that Duggan’s Brewery vacated last April. Over at The Bar Towel, some members are lamenting the rise of ersatz craft breweries owned by the big guys, but judging from the difficulties Duggan’s faced, that sort of money might be exactly what’s required to make a go of it in the cavernous space. Meanwhile, hopes are riding high among hopheads for the Indie Alehouse set to launch in the Junction soon.
