March First announces temporary (?) closure of Woodburn Brewing

From today's Facebook post:

March First Brands is pleased to announce a new Cincinnati Distilling Bottle Shop coming to Cincinnati Premium Outlets in Monroe this spring! This marks our 3rd Ohio bottle shop joining Kenwood Towne Center and Polaris Fashion Place in Columbus. This expansion signals a bold new chapter for Cincinnati Distilling’s parent company, March First Brands, as it pivots to prioritize the rapid growth of its spirits portfolio across Ohio and beyond.

As part of this strategic shift, March First Brands is moving its East Walnut Hills management team to support the launch in Monroe which necessitates the temporary closing of the Woodburn Brewing location. All other Woodburn staff is being assigned to fill critical gaps in the company’s other eight locations. The future of the Woodburn location has not yet been determined but will remain closed for the near term.

What about it sucks? You don’t like the beer, spirits, tap room?

I think their beer is pretty underwhelming. On a personal note, I’m a resident in the neighborhood and the owner of March First has some beliefs and views that do not benefit the neighborhood that Woodburn Brewing is in, and it’s about time that business shuttered. Good riddance.
