THE PHUKET BREWERY is not closing, despite rumors that its doors are about to shut, the entertainment venue's PR manager said last night.
In a strange set of circumstances, rumors began circulating after the Media Club of Phuket president was presented with a letter last week, inviting the media to a dinner and an announcement from the Brewery.
The date and time set for the dinner and announcement was 6pm last night.
The person who delivered the letter said the announcement would be that the Brewery was closing.
The letter appeared to be signed by a senior Brewery staffer who had actually left the Brewery's employment about three months ago.
PR Manager Rachaneekorn Kotsombut told the media who assembled last night at 6pm at the Brewery that there was no announcement and no dinner, and that the brewery was not closing.
She said she could not explain the reason why a person who left the staff of the Brewery three months ago would send a letter inviting the media to a non-existent event.
The Brewery is, according to reports, doing quite well despite the economic downturn, with headline concerts at the 2000-seat venue sometimes booked out.
The Brewery is opposite the Tesco Lotus supermarket, on the bypass road.
Most of its shows are Thai singers and bands but the hope is that with time, international performers will also be enticed to perform on Phuket.
