Friends and Fellow Travelers,
It is with a very heavy heart that I must announce our closure. While I take great pride in what we were able to build—great beer, great atmosphere, and great connections to our community—the challenges have become insurmountable. I won’t burden this statement with discussions of the economy or cost of goods. The fact that weighs most heavily on my mind is that businesses and people alike are all facing these challenges.
I opened our doors with the goal that this can be more than just a great place to drink great beer. It can be a force for good within our community. Our Rule 15 Initiative was born from this belief and that sentiment does not die when the doors close. In times like this it is important for all of us to focus on what really matters: family, community, and sometimes just making it through the days, weeks, and months. It takes dedication, energy, and sacrifice. It’s rarely easy, but always worth it.
I will close this chapter the same way I opened it, with the earnest belief that it is the people who matter. Our wonderful staff, our loyal customers, and those we’ve been able to help in hard times. The people are just as important to a brewery as the water, malt, hops, and yeast. My heart stays open for you should you ever need it.
Our full business hours will end on September 1st, but please keep an eye on our social media for service updates and opportunities for you in September to come get a beer, share some laughs, and say farewells while we spin down our operation. All scheduled August events, both public and private, will take place as planned.
Remember to help your fellow Hobos whenever and wherever you can. You may need their help someday. –Rule #15, Hobo Code of Ethics
Sincerely,
Eli “Stumblebum” Green
