Glad to hear this is false, would be a shame to lose this pub. I'll have to stop in there soon and give some support. Ezra,

Everyone I know there says it is untrue and I know almost everyone. They did go through rough times but not because of the economy. I am guessing this got started with Jason Mcadam the co-owner and head brewer leaving Roots recently. I have not heard this publicized anywhere. But he has to get bought out so a lot of money is owed to him and others but Roots is basically hunkering down to pay off their bills. Also they were hit hard with the distributor shake-ups and mergers. They are becoming more of a brewpub and you will see less of the beers distributed around town.
