Downtown brewery announces closure

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Locals who have enjoyed a pint at Bell Brothers Brewing have until the end of the month to enjoy a brew and wish the business farewell, as the brewery announced on Sept. 10 that it would close its doors this fall.

According to a post on Bell Brothers’ Facebook page, the brewery will officially close on Sept. 29.

“While we hate to say farewell, we are also filled with gratitude for everyone who has been a part of our brewery journey,” said Bell Brothers.

The brewery thanked its patrons, staff, entertainers and artists who have performed there, and its fellow breweries around town that have offered encouragement and good times.

“We have learned so much, grown so much and, if our hearts are heavy, it is due in great part to how full they are from having shared the past 3 years with you,” Bell Brothers said.

The events already scheduled to occur at the brewery through September will go on as planned, the brewery said, up until its final day of operation on Sunday, Sept. 29. The brewery encouraged anyone who has enjoyed its brews over the last few years to stop by and take advantage of specials on merch, to-go beer, and the early release of its anniversary Rover Smasher Barleywine.

FOX21 News is scheduled to speak with the brewery’s owners on Thursday, Sept. 19.
