Last week, Sanford Brewing Company was on the verge of closing. The company’s ownership had posted a $120,000 GoFundMe to save the brewery and pay backpay to employees and other expenses. The staff started their own GoFundMe so patrons and friends could donate directly to them. Everything looked bleak for the brewery and its staff, so final days were hosted, and it looked like the end.
Then came a new announcement this week that Brewlando Brewing out of Orlando had announced their intentions to acquire both locations of Sanford Brewing Company.
