Weyerbacher Tap Room Indefinitely Closing

The Weyerbacher Tap Room Announces Indefinite Closure

Just a bit ago today, Weyerbacher’s Facebook page for their Tap Room announced that it will be closed until further notice, effective immediately. This comes a week (July 21st) posting new hours for their tap room on the same page.

There has been rumors circulating about the status of Weyerbacher in recent months, and the post seems to confirm much of it. Weyerbacher Brewing Company has been in business for 27 years, nearly three decades, which is quite the milestone in craft brewing. They have many celebrated favorites like Blithering Idiot, Tiny, Merry Monks, Sunday Morning Stout, and Sunday Mole Stout.

Their Post

Along with the following images (text pictures) they posted the following on their social media platforms:

Friends of Weyerbacher,

There has been a lot of confusion coming out of our taproom lately and we would like to provide you with some clarity and reassurance. First off, we are sending this message with optimism and enthusiasm for what the future holds! Weyerbacher is in the midst of some big changes. Changes that we intend will rejuvenate our brand and carry us through another 27 years and beyond.

There is no map for the changes we are making. Unfortunately, this has led to some bumps in the road over the past few weeks and we have had to make some quick decisions in the moment. Those decisions were necessary, but have also led to questions, rumors, and confusion. We apologize to anyone that has been inconvenienced.

Our taproom is officially closed until further norice. This isn’t the scenario we were hoping for, but it does not deter us from our long-term goals. The good news is that we are still in production and working to keep our core brands on the shelves and available to you. Our brewers are also working on some exciting new offerings from our pilot system for when the taproom re-opens!

This is where we are friends. We want to thank you all for your loyalty and support. The craft beer industry is challenging and breweries do not stay in business for 27 years without good beer and amazing friends. We owe that longevity to the support you have given us over the years. We know this statement doesn’t answer all the questions you may have, but we hope that it dispels the rumors and provides some clarity.

For now,

Birds are real.

The Earth is round.

Weyerbacher still stands.

The moon landing is questionable.

Weyerbacher Brewing Company

Weyerbacher Brewing Company has been brewing for 27 years in Easton, Pennsylvania. According to Untappd they have 526 unique beers with nearly a million ratings (950 thousand) and a global average rating of 3.78 (as of today: 7.27.22). They are considered a Regional Brewery out of Easton, PA. Their Untappd description reads: Weyerbacher Brewing was founded in 1995 in a livery stable located in downtown Easton, Pennsylvania. Eventually outgrowing that small space, we made the move to the 30,000 square foot facility that we still call home today. Since the beginning, we have established a reputation for making big, full-flavored, high quality brews. While predominantly known for Belgian-style brews including Merry Monks and QUAD, we have an extensive barrel aging program which produces fan favorites including Insanity and Riserva. In recent years, we’ve dipped our toes into IPAs and other lower ABV styles with great success. Experimenting with different ingredients and brewing techniques, our brewers continue to stretch their creative minds and develop interesting and mind blowing beers that will satisfy your taste for the extraordinary. The Tap Room at Weyerbacher Brewing is your gateway into the world of Weyerbacher! The Tap Room opens every day at NOON and has over 20 beers on draft every day! Have a beer at our bar or grab your favorite beer to go! In addition to enjoying the freshest Weyerbacher beers on tap, The Tap Room offers: • Live music from local musicians every Friday and Saturday! • FREE guided tours on Fridays and Saturdays! • Beer release parties and special events!

Thanks For Reading

This is unfortunate news for sure. I’ve always been a huge fan of Weyerbacher Brewing Company, and they were always a staple of the Warwick Hotel and Bar when I was younger and going there a lot more. I remember one time having a Double Simcoe keg kicker party at Warwick, where it was 2$ pints of Double Simcoe, which was a 9% Double IPA (DIPA). Oooh boy…. that was a good night. Thank god The Warwick was within walking distance.

Blog related stuff – Tomorrow will be the wrap up of The Final Four round for the Battle of the Beers (2022). Friday will then start The Finals. Who will it be? Right now it’s looking like it will be Toppling Goliath’s Pseudo Sue vs. Von C Brewing’s Walking on Clouds. Time will tell however! Saturday we will be down in Newfreedom for a memorial service for my Aunt Linda. After that, we might be going to various places, not sure. This weekend is also the Black Flag Brewing Company’s 6th Anniversary, so we might be stopping there. There is also the Schulkyll Brewfest this weekend. So might try and get there for that too.

Well, wherever we’ll end up, ya’ll will know it!

Cheers!
