USA, AL: Red Hills Brewing Company to shutter permanently
Hopeful patrons of Red Hills Brewing Company received some bad news on March 20: the Homewood brewery will shutter permanently, AL.com reported.
The brewery posted the news on their social media pages. The posts read:
“To our loyal supporters of Red Hills Brewing Company:
Thank you for your patronage and support these past two years. Your loyalty and passion for our beer has made us proud.
It is with great sadness that we inform you of our closing. We have enjoyed being a part of the Homewood community and look forward to our next chapter.
With Gratitude, Red Hills Brewing Company”
The announcement is disappointment to those who hoped the brewery would have a grand reopening last month.
Last December, Red Hills announced they were going dark for a few weeks and working on “something big.”
Red Hills opened in Homewood in 2016 next to Steel City Pops and was the first brewery in the Birmingham area to open over the mountain in the suburbs. A nod to Alabama’s state amphibian, the red hills salamander, the brewery started off brewing four beers.
Original owner Joe Pilleteri and brewer Eric Baumann met as homebrewers.
