Nearly 10 years ago we had an idea for a community-focused brewery that fostered home brewing. In 2015 we incorporated our business and proceeded with planning, site selection and permitting. In 2018 when we opened doors to customers, we were excited to be a part of Loudoun's growing craft brewing scene.
6+ years later, we regret to inform you that we've weathered too many storms - surviving what felt like the impossible with COVID only to attempt to stay afloat with annual double digit increases to cost of goods, labor and our lease which is now forecasted to more than double in the up coming months due to the high demand and short supply of zoned commercial restate (thanks to Data Centers need the same zoning requirements).
We're proud of what we've accomplished but just can't make things work financially when looking at significant increases to our expenses going forward without a comparable increase in revenue. Time to cut our losses.
If you have time, please enjoy these last few weeks with us. We currently anticipate June 8th as being our last day open, but things may change and we'll adjust accordingly. We appreciate everyone that came by over the years, we will miss our customers, our friends, and hope that we've left some of you with a new appreciation of beers you may not have otherwise tried or the affirmation that you too can brew a great beer.
Cheers,
Travis and Chitra S.
