CARA Operations Limited has filed a statement of claim in the Court of Queen’s bench asking for over $470,000 in unpaid rent money from Barley Brothers Inc.

The Barley Brothers location, at 655 Empress St., was closed on Jan. 1, 2017. At the time, owners said the closure was part of a relocation strategy to bring craft beer to downtown Winnipeg, although no new location has opened since.

Filed March 19, the claim states Barley Brothers owes rent and additional costs in the amount of $474,719, based on a sublease dating from Aug. 15, 2013 and expiring March 30, 2019.
