Craggie Brewing Company regrets to announce that after three years we will be closing our doors December 1st.
We strived to prosper in the face of limited funds, but ultimately could not reach profitability. We are very proud of our staff, DJ McCready, Luke Holgate, Nick Badieh Alwon-Mount, Zaq Suarez, Zach Dier, and Brandon, and customers and want to thank you for your loyalty through the highs and the lows this operation.
Although Craggie will be closing, the facility at 197 Hilliard Avenue will still be in use. Negotiations are currently being made for a new brewery to take over the space and begin its own brewing journey. It will be retaining two of Craggie’s own employees and is wished the best of luck in its endeavors.
You, our friends and colleagues, are what make Beer City what it is, and we are glad to know you!

The company produced 600 barrels of beer in 2011, according to the Brewers Association.
Is that “275 barrels” information on the BA web site?
no, it’s in the New Brewer magazine. You can pick up the back issue for $15 or so from the BA webshop.
No wonder they went out of business with that little beer.
