USA, IN: Switchyard Brewing Co. shutting down after this weekend
Bloomington’s Switchyard Brewing Co. is shutting down after this weekend, the Indiana Public Media reported on January 13.
Switchyard’s taproom on North Walnut Street will serve drinks one last time Sunday, a statement posted to social media said.
“We invite you for a pint or slice to share moments with our incredible staff. Let’s celebrate the community and memories we’ve cherished,” the post said.
“As we say goodbye, we remind you of the importance of supporting local, independent businesses. Your patronage to these community owned businesses sustains our community’s unique character and vibrancy,” it said.
“While not the ending we envisioned, we’re proud of our impact on the community we’ve served. Your support and shared moments have been our greatest joy. As we turn to a new chapter, we carry the friendships and joy we’ve found here.”
According to the company, gift cards can be redeemed in person through the weekend. It will offer refunds through its website starting Monday.
The announcement didn’t say exactly why the brewery was closing down.
In October, Switchyard announced plans to offer supporters a chance to become direct shareholders in the future of the company.
It set a goal of raising $150,000 for the “Community Equity Round” initiative.
“With plans to expand their product line and tap into new markets, Switchyard is focused on being a beacon of community engagement and excellence in the brewing industry,” the company said at the time.
The Bloomington brewery opened in 2017, and its beers are available in Indiana supermarkets and liquor stores.
Switchyard didn’t immediately respond to messages over the weekend.
