Two Island pubs, both owned by Heron and Brearley, are being shut down.
The Ship, in Castletown, and the The Britannia, in Ramsey, will both close their doors on Saturday, February 1.
The brewery's estates director, Steven Taylor, says trading has been tough for the two pubs for some time.
He adds that whilst the brewery's customers in Castletown and Ramsey continue to enjoy a great choice of venues, it's still sad to see any pub close.
