Has an admin 'half retired' this brewery. All three beers retired but the brewery is still live?

The local CAMRA mag has had this brewery down as likely to have closed since 2016. However I had two beers this year. More specifically the Amber was apparently on at last month's Haslemere beer festival. If anything it would appear that they never update their website or social media.

On a similar note, Havant Brewery is shown as closed but still appear on the live list for Hampshire breweries.

With Hedgedog the local CAMRA group confirmed that it was closed, could another brewer have picked up the brand?

The Havant bug has now been sorted, it shouldn't appear on the live list now.

The local CAMRA mag said something along the lines of, 'presume they've closed, had no response." I was going to e-mail them and point out that a couple of local pubs (Brunning and Price ones) were still having their beers on. The brewery never responded to me either.

On a similar note, Hop Art closed last year but one of my collegues mentioned he'd booked the Watercress Line Real Ale train today, with one of the two breweries being Hop Art. Stale ale?

Grr, just wrote a lengthy reply on this which somehow got deleted when I posted, I'll catch up again when the system is more stable.

Had an Intrepid (Derbyshire) beer on the weekend. They are down as retired not in production. But have plenty of live beer on untapped. Their twitter feed would also suggest they are still brewing.

Yes this is now true, they had closed down, but now restarted, I will update this.
