The brewery also shut down another historic pub in north-west London in February.
Martin Repton, a councillor at Derby City Council, posted on Facebook: "All the brewery have said so far is that the managers did not follow company policies, which the couple deny emphatically.
"We're all really sad and sorry for the landlords, who have now lost their home and livelihood."
The Abbey had been closed for five years before re-opening in September 2024.
Repton, who was part of the campaign to get it reopened, told the BBC the fresh closure had come as a shock to the local community.
"I went in for a quick pint on Tuesday and everything seemed to be OK, although I know that the landlords have come under a certain amount of pressure in recent months," he said.
"I was rung and told the pub was to close immediately.
"People are absolutely appalled and shocked by the immediate closure.
"We were starting to build up the trade again. It's a good pub with great atmosphere, in the village centre.
"It's an important and integral part of the village and village life."
