Dix Brewery Closing Down?
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 | Beer
I just heard via an invite to the Four Beers and a Funeral Brewpub Crawl, a VCBW event, that Dix Brewery is closing down permanently. Can anyone confirm if this is true and why? As far as I can tell, Dix does booming good business so I doubt the reasons are financial (just try getting a table before a Canucks game).
If Dix is indeed closing down permanently in a few weeks time, this is sad news to say the least. Dix Cask Thursdays, Dix Caskival events, and pre-sporting event beer drinking will all be sorely missed. I spent a good part of the Olympics at Dix and I can’t imagine it not being there when I return to Vancouver. At least I’ll always have the memories of the good times.
Anyway, apparently the pub crawl will feature a march from Steamworks to Dix where a Dix Funeral will be held, then onto Yaletown and Dockside. Tickets are $65 and include beer and food. If Dix was special to you, now’s your chance to say goodbye with a rip roaring good party.
Cheers.

I’m just so totally blown away by this news. I was in the Cast of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics and a ton of us partied at the DIX. One of my co-workers and I spent a night of total debauchery there. I stopped in a few times after the games. Always great service,wonderful staff and totally awesome friggin beer! This is just really, really sad!
Yeah, I totally know what you mean. It was a solid place and it was always quite busy too. I’ve heard they are going to reopen a version of Dix, hopefully still a brewpub, but we’ll have to see.
[...] was a sad day for all Vancouver beer lovers when Dix Brewery closed down. I knew I’d be able to find another before hockey game spot for a burger and beer, but what [...]
