USA, WA: Seattles Counterbalance Brewing Company is for sale
Counterbalance Brewing Company, owned and operated by Jeff Howell and Frank Lawrence, officially opened its taproom doors and launched wholesale distribution on February 4, 2015. On August 18, the brewery announced that it is for sale. Jeff and Frank made the difficult announcement on Facebook, the Washington Beer Blog reported.
Weve made the difficult decision to put our brewery up for sale and wind down business in the next couple months, said the announcement. Well be here for some time yet, but we wanted to make this announcement while weve still got some beers to share and time to thank those who have enjoyed it for the last 7+ years.
The brewery and taproom is located in Seattles Georgetown neighborhood, near the intersection of Michigan Street and Fourth Avenue South. The beer-only tasting room is spacious and brightly lit by large, west-facing windows. Lots of bar seating, and a spattering of two- and four-top tables. There is outdoor seating too, out front of the building.
Were truly grateful for all the friends weve made and the support weve received, as well as all the beers weve been privileged to make and enjoy. Our staff has been incredible, and we wouldnt have made it nearly this far without them. Well put out more details about a closing event in the coming weeks, and we hope youll come by and let us thank you once more for being a part of Counterbalance Brewing.
