Bucket Brigade Brewery Has Closed

Bucket Brigade Brewery Has Closed

The brewery – located at 205 N Main St, Cape May Court House, NJ 08210 – has announced its closure yesterday (January 18th, 2025) via social media accounts. Their post states that the final day of the brewery’s operations will be on Sunday, January 26th, 2025.

Bucket Brigade Brewery Closing

Bucket Brigade Brewery’s announcement via social media.

Their post on Facebook reads:

After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to close the doors of Bucket Brigade Brewery for good on January 26th. For the past 7 years, your support, passion, and friendship have meant the world to us—we can’t thank you enough for the memories we’ve shared and the community we’ve built together.
Over the last two years, it’s been clear that Bucket Brigade has evolved under Karl’s son Karlson’s leadership as head brewer. In just a year and a half, he’s earned 15 awards and taken the brewery to bold, exciting places. But with those changes came growing pains, and ultimately, Bucket Brigade Brewery wasn’t able to adapt as a brand to keep pace with Karlson’s innovative direction.
While this marks the end of Bucket Brigade, we’re excited for what’s next: Karlson will be taking over our building and launching his own venture, **Obscura Brewing Co.** Inspired by his love of pushing boundaries and exploring the unknown, Obscura Brewing Co. captures Karlson’s spirit of innovation—and with his stellar track record, we have no doubt it’s going to be something truly special.
Mark your calendars for March 6th, when Obscura Brewing Co. opens its doors for a soft opening party and AC Beer Fest ticket event. We’re thrilled to see Karlson carry on the tradition of great beer and a welcoming atmosphere—just with a fresh, new twist.
In the meantime, we’re holding a blowout sale at Bucket Brigade through January 26th. Enjoy Karlson’s outstanding beers at a fraction of the cost—mix-and-match a case of any packs for just $25. Stock up, reminisce, and toast these final days of the Bucket as we close this chapter.
We invite you to stop by, share your favorite stories, and say goodbye to Bucket Brigade in person. If you’d like to claim any donated memorabilia, please coordinate with Karl Sr directly.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make the last 7 years so unforgettable. We’re sad to say farewell to Bucket Brigade, but we’re equally excited to see Karlson forge a new path with Obscura Brewing Co. Cheers, and we hope to raise a glass with you soon!
So looks like all is not over; as Karlson will be still brewing with a new brewery called “Obscura Brewing Company”. More news will be upcoming on their opening and what all will be happening with them.
Also be sure to stay informed via Bucket Brigade’s social media pages as they announce closing hours and sales.
Amy and I got to visit Bucket Brigade Brewery back in 2021 (in either October or November). Here’s to the future of Obscura Brewing Company and hoping all is well for all those and their future endeavors wherever they may end up.
Just yesterday we announced also that the Beer Busters Podcast will be hanging it up, and today we unfortunately have this news, and it sounds like we’ll be making a post about another brewery’s closing tomorrow if the rumors be true (unfortunately). So be tuned in for that.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
