USA, OH: 16 Lots closes flagship brewery in Mason

16 Lots has officially shuttered its flagship brewery in Mason, Ohio, along with its ‘Southern Outpost’ location inside Newport on the Levee, LINK nky reported on November 22.

The brewery announced the news on its Facebook account.

“Well, friends, the sun has set at 16 Lots Brewing Company and 16 Lots Southern Outpost,” read the post. “As of today, we are permanently closed.”

16 Lots faced rumors of impending closure earlier in January. The brewery’s Southern Outpost, which opened in 2023, was struggling financially. The brewery was able to stay open by garnering public support, in addition to cutting staff and menu items. These maneuvers helped in the short term but were ultimately not sustainable.
