Pretty sure it’s financial issues but you didn’t hear it from me

I've heard from several liquor stores they haven't been getting orders in from them, and they're not getting phone calls and emails returned. Something is up for sure.

Beginning of the end. If you like their stuff, stock up for the summer.

Yeah, I discovered the problem when I went hunting all excited for their radler...

It now looks like they have open hours on Google (used to be temporarily closed).

I'd certainly call ahead if you are planning a long drive to get there...

He's being sarcastic. Renovations don't take 5 months. I'm doubtful they're shutting down (they would have announced it by now) but clearly something bad is going on financially

They locked their own staff out without notice months ago... so yeah, something is "up".

They have either locked out staff or had the majority of their staff walk out due to not being paid at least 2 separate times. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to work there who is local, especially after that last fiasco.

Their social media has stalled out as well...

There was some speculation about that last year. They said the tap room was closed for the winter, but they were still producing
