USA, MI: Boatyard Brewing Company to close down at the end of August

Northside-area brewery Boatyard Brewing Company has announced that it will be closing its doors at the end of August, the Midwest Communication reported on August 13.

The brewery broke the news through a Facebook post.

"While the Kalamazoo community has supported our business, it has been difficult to keep Boatyard a viable business," the post reads. "The investors have reviewed the recent financials and have made the decision not to keep the Boatyard open."

Despite the news of the closure, Boatyard seems to be leaving on a positive note.

"We leave behind an amazing beer scene in Kalamazoo," the post reads. "This city produces some of the best beer in the world. We ask all of the fans of the Boatyard to make sure you go out and support all of the local breweries in town. You are blessed to be in a town with so many talented brewers: buy their beer and support them with great love."

Boatyard Brewing will have its final day on August 31st.
