DRINKERS have shared their devastation after a popular beerhouse closed down with immediate effect. Manchester brewery Seven Brothers announced it would close one of its beerhouses in Middlewood, Salford. A statement posted on the Seven Brothers website read: "It is with a heavy heart that we have had to take the decision to close our Middlewood Locks beerhouse. Apologies for any inconvenience.".

The venue first opened in 2019 and sold a range of ales and other drinks. Many former customers have now taken to social media to share their sadness about the closure. One said they were absolutely gutted and the location was a "lovely dog friendly pub".
While another simply said "oh no". The venue has received rave reviews on TripAdvisor, with one visitor describing it as a "lovely place offering a wide range of craft ales and other drinks". While a fourth said the spot had a "fantastic homely feeling with great beer and food".
The popular business was set up by the McAvoy brothers, Guy, Keith, Luke, Daniel, Nathan, Kit, and Greg. The craft brewery first launched in 2014 and has four more locations across Manchester and Liverpool. It sells a range of IPAs which are stocked at speciality stores as well as Asda.
It comes amid a tough period for the wider craft beer sector as it grapples with rising costs and weak consumer spending. Earlier this month, Magic Rock Brewery, the maker of IPAs such as Cannonball and Magic Haze, announced its intent to appoint administrators.
