A four year run is not a “disaster”. A niche business like that is a big of a crap shoot, regardless if where it operates.
Alcohol sales are down nationwide. Many micro breweries have evaporated.
Especially in Portland. So many niche bars.
They are not closing. They are moving to a location outside of Portland. Closing of the existing location has everything to do with massive crime and homelessness in Portland.
It is not as if they are calling it quits. They are just moving to a safer, more sane location outside of the Portland city limits.
The move has everything to do with the woke failure of Portland as an unsafe city.
