Vegan Brewery Modern Times Is Closing Four Locations This Week

Vegan brewery Modern Times is closing its Portland, Oakland, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles tasting rooms due to financial strain from the pandemic. Known for its vegan beer, plant-based bites, and funky atmosphere, Modern Times has been a popular spot for beer lovers and herbivores on the West Coast.

While these four locations are closing, Modern Times will still have breweries in Point Loma, North Park, Encinitas, and Anaheim. The team is focusing on building a smaller, smarter, and more equitable company for the future. Fans are encouraged to visit the remaining locations to support the brand and enjoy one last hurrah before the closures. The hope is for Modern Times to come back stronger in the future and potentially expand to other cities.
