Asheville’s Craggie Brewing to close Dec. 1

From a press release that went out on Sunday, Nov. 18. from Craggie Brewing Co. owner Bill Drew:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REVOLVING DOOR AT 197 HILLIARD AVENUE

Craggie Brewing Company regrets to announce that after three years it will be closing its doors December 1st.

This small, handcrafted brewery, known for unique beers like Antebellum Ale, Burning Barrel Porter, and Yo La Mango IPA, strived to prosper in the face of limited funds, but ultimately could not reach profitability. Craggie is proud of its staff and customers and wants to thank them for their loyalty through the highs and the lows of its operations.

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.

Craggie’s head brewer DJ McCready defected to Oskar Blues last month.
