Poll Description

After six years in business, Worcester craft brewery Redemption Rock Brewing permanently closed its doors on Dec. 29.

Brian Treitman expressed a similar sentiment when he announced he would close his B.T.’s Fried Chicken & BBQ in Worcester after the influx of chain restaurants in the region in part had forced him to close up shop.
