Atlanta-based Pontoon Brewing will close both their locations on October 28th.

As is pretty standard these days, Pontoon Brewing took to Instagram to announce the brewery will close their doors after their last scheduled event on October 28th. The brewery blames in the post that lack of payments from their main distributing partner for the brewery’s demise, stopping short of naming which distributor has not paid the brewery.

With the current state of the economy, it’s been a bumpier ride than anticipated, but we continued to grow strike up new partnerships, grow our team, and shine bright! That said, due to one of our main distribution partners not paying us for our product, we are faced with a dire situation and are forced to temporarily close our doors while we find a new partner or buyer for the business.

An email shared anonymously this week from an employee at Pontoon to unknown recipients, was more direct, stating “Pontoon is closing its doors.”
