Following on the heels of news that Valkyrie Brewing and the Parched Eagle are closing and/or for sale, comes word that Chicago's Metropolitan Brewing is to close next month.
The beloved Chicago brewery and taproom will close after service on Dec. 17, owners Doug and Tracy Hurst announced on social media Tuesday. The taproom along the Chicago River will be open its normal hours every day until then except for Thanksgiving, the owners said.
Metropolitan’s closure comes after nearly 15 years in business and follows a last-ditch effort to save the brewery from mounting financial trouble.
I am going to miss my annual fall trek to Binny's where I would stock up on Arc Welder, Metro's rye dunkel, a favorite of mine. As in favorite beer of all-time, not just of Metropolitan's.
Best of luck to the Hurst's.
