PEG Beer Co.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada · Est. 2016
Tally's Take
Why this matters
An Exchange District brewpub that helped make downtown Winnipeg somewhere you would go for beer, with a full brewery on site rather than a borrowed tap list. The Winnipeg Free Press reported its closure in February 2018, under two years after it opened. The record previously carried no closing year at all; that report supplies it.
