R.I.P. Valkyrie Brewing

Valkyrie Brewing is no more. Last call was on the 6th and Ryan Urban was there.

Saturday’s farewell event featured many of the elements of a Saturday at the brewery. Games of cribbage were going on at nearly every table, game after game was played at the vintage pinball machine, friends and strangers alike conversed with enthusiasm and laughter, and there was music—for this occasion, by Kaptain Karl and the Dirty White Boy Band. Many people brought flowers and gifts for the Lees, and there was a cake, which they cut together with a sword, of course.

I am going to miss stopping in there on my treks up north for some muscle relaxant (Whispering Embers...mmm...) after a hike and those Jethro Tull-inspired beer names.
