USA, CA: Golden Road Brewing Co.’s brewpub closed after fire

Golden Road Brewing Co.’s midtown Sacramento brewpub is temporarily closed for an unknown amount of time after a fire on March 20, the company said.

The fire’s cause is not yet known, director of pub operations Adam Levoe wrote in an email. The open-air brewpub made from shipping containers has a small kitchen with a grill, deep fryer and stovetops.

“We’re grateful for the local fire department for responding so quickly and thankful that no one was on site at the time and no one was injured during the incident,” Levoe wrote. “The safety of our guests and staff is our number one priority and we are working with the local authorities who are investigating the cause.”

Golden Road was closed on St. Patrick’s Day due to a maintenance issue, according to the bar’s Facebook page. It wouldn’t have opened on March 20 even without the fire because of inclement weather.
