The Abridged version:<\/p>\n
Pangaea Bier Cafe will close its Curtis Park taproom and restaurant.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2008, it was a pioneer in Sacramento\u2019s craft beer scene.<\/p>\n
Pangaea will look for a new location, owners Rob and Kin Archie said in the social media post.<\/p>\n
Pangaea Bier Cafe<\/a>, a pioneer in Sacramento\u2019s craft beer scene, will close its doors in Curtis Park, the restaurant and bar announced on social media Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n Extensive lease negotiations with Pangaea\u2019s landlord, owner Rob Archie\u2019s father Lee and his partner Hanju Morrow, have proved fruitless, Rob Archie said. As a result, Pangaea will shut down at 2743 Franklin Blvd. on March 19, with hopes of finding a future location.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were proposed with something to stay there, and it just wasn\u2019t even close to fathomable,\u201d Rob Archie said in a phone interview. \u201cWe just couldn\u2019t do it \u2026 and so we just had to decide to look for another spot.\u201d <\/p>\n Rob Archie launched Pangaea with his wife Kin in 2008 after falling in love with beer while playing basketball in Europe. At that time, it was a rare spot for imported beer and craft American ales, a distinction it held onto even as Sacramento\u2019s beer scene exploded in the 2010s.<\/p>\n Archie went on to become a partner in Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse<\/a>, Bawk<\/a>, Good Neighbor<\/a> and more, but he and Kin maintained sole ownership of Pangaea. The taphouse\u2019s burger also gathered significant acclaim, winning the Sacramento Burger Battle three times during the competition\u2019s heyday in the mid-2010s.<\/p>\n \t\tSign Up for the City of Treats Newsletter<\/p>\n Get the latest Sacramento food news from Benjy Egel in City of Treats \u2014 delivered every Tuesday.<\/p>\n \u201cWe evolved in front of everybody. We shared so much new stuff with people, you know, new beers and new styles, and introduced brewers and brought people in from other places,\u201d Archie said. \u201cThat\u2019s why all the other concepts are what they are, because these are the people we met. These are the relationships we created and the connections we have. And so it\u2019s just amazing, you know, and that\u2019s what I want to continue to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Archie aims to open Pangaea 2.0 as geographically close to the original as possible, he said.<\/p>\n Benjy Egel\u00a0is the senior food editor at Abridged.
