📍 Sleeping Giant Brewing Company to Close Its Doors After Nearly 14 Years in Thunder Bay
After nearly 14 years of brewing, laughing, and sharing pints on the shores of Lake Superior, Sleeping Giant Brewing Company has announced it will close its doors at the end of March 2026. Founded in 2012, the brewery quickly became a catalyst for the region’s craft beer culture, growing from home brewing experiments in a kitchen into one of the North’s most recognized craft breweries. The decision comes amid rising costs and shifting consumer habits. Co-founders Kyle and Drea Mulligan say the brewery will remain open through March for a month of community celebration.
