J Wakefield Brewing Announcing Their Closing

J Wakefield Brewing Announces Bittersweet Closing

As a nerd, a Star Wars fan, and a geek, this brewery closing hurts. J. Wakefield Brewing has become one of the powerhouse breweries along the Eastern Coast, and one of the top and premier breweries of Florida. Known for their fun, quirky, nerdy beer names and can art, and a wonderful looking taproom with great murals all over it. Today, at 5 PM, J. Wakefield Brewing announced via Facebook (and as well as Instagram) that they will be closing their Wynwood location. (Located at 120 NW 24th St, Miami, FL 33127)

All is not lost, as it does look like they are actively trying to find a new location. Hopefully sooner rather than later. No word on where or when this might come to fruition, but we will keep you updated, when we get the information ourselves.
