USA, VA: Reaver Beach Brewing Co. closing its Norfolk location

Reaver Beach Brewing Co. announced on Facebook that it’s closing its Norfolk location after three years, Yahoo News reported on March 25.

The post cites “changing craft beer market and unforeseen challenges” as forcing the closure.

The Norfolk brewpub is housed in a 6,500-square-foot renovated post office and is known for its wide selection of IPAs. The Virginia Beach production facility and taproom will continue to operate as it has for nearly 14 years.

Customers left comments on the post stating how sad or disappointed they were about the news.

“Heartbreaking,” one person wrote.

Reaver will thank its patron with a last “hurrah” on Saturday at 3800 Colley Ave. to savor the memories.
