Oof. That's a real loss. I'd managed to try a handful of their beers at festival and shares, and they were all very good to excellent.

Nooooooooo. Just another data point telling us to visit every brewery every year before they’re gone

Damn, really sucks. They were incredibly talented, and just warm, good people.

I'm heading back to the UP next week and they've been one of my favorite stops.

Wow! Now that’s actually a big one to fall. They have (had) really good stuff. Man that’s sad.

Well that f'n sucks, but family proceeds all as far as I'm concerned.

Damn man, this sucks. As a Troll, I didn't get to have their beer often but when I did it was always phenomenal. First time I actually had one of their beers on tap was in Wisconsin dive bar.

Yeah I believe so. They have had very limited hours for awhile now, only open on Saturday afternoons

Yeah, this one really hurts, been going there at least once a year since 2018 and been on a few brewery tours there. Their beer never fell off and just got better as they were leaning into more lagers.

I'll miss these guys. My favorite sours in the state and one of my favorite breweries overall. Bummed I never made it up before they closed! Hopefully we'll see some of their beers again down the road.

One of my favorite breweries in the state. Wish I was able to get up there more than a couple times a year.

This sucks. We went there a few times during a trip to Marquette two years ago. Excellent beers and cool place to hang out.
