Popular brewery, beer brand forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy
The company operates multiple taprooms and sells a number of popular beers regionally.
A local taproom or brewery becomes a beloved part of the community.
That’s actually somewhat rare in the United States, where we don’t have a tradition of village pubs. There are some bars that fill that role, becoming someplace where friends and neighbors come together.

A really good neighborhood bar becomes a place where people bring their families, fall in love, and celebrate life’s big moments.
When a community loses that, it can be devastating. It’s very hard to replace a bar, or a pub that has become a de facto community center.
Real life may not have bars like “Cheers,” but a good neighborhood tavern becomes a place where everybody knows your name. Losing that means more than when another Hooters or TGI Fridays closes.
