Something Wicked Brewing Company in Hanover has announced its closure, with the final day of operation scheduled for Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The decision comes after a decade in business, with the owners citing a combination of factors, including partners being at different life stages, some nearing retirement, and market shifts creating economic challenges for the craft beer industry, where the brewery hasn’t seen the hoped-for growth this year.
The following announcement was posted on their Facebook page:
A Bittersweet Farewell from Something Wicked Brewing Co.
After much reflection and with incredibly heavy hearts, we must share the news that Something Wicked Brewing Co. will be closing its doors. Our final pints will be poured on September 6th.
Just a few months ago, we proudly celebrated 10 incredible years of brewing craft beer, building friendships, and being part of the vibrant heartbeat of downtown Hanover. Over the past decade, we’ve had the honor of watching strangers become friends, and friends become family. We’ve shared laughter and tears, stories and songs, first dates and farewells — each moment leaving its mark on our hearts.
We had hoped to toast another ten years with you, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.
To our patrons and friends, our Sinners & Saints — thank you. You are the soul of Something Wicked. We wish we could name every one of you, but two very special people deserve a shout-out: Billy Miller and Spencer Shirk, thank you for being not just loyal patrons, but unwavering friends. You’ve been there for every event — from the wildest Bloody Mary Brunches to quiet weekday pours — and we are endlessly grateful.
To our amazing staff, thank you for pouring your hearts into every shift, every pint, every conversation. You made this place what it is. Special thanks to:
– Jon Sanders, for being the face of Something Wicked for so many years.
– Our talented brewers Matt Tharp, Jacob Auer, Bry Harvey, Wes Phebus, Adam Grim, and Josh Kinard, who crafted through the years the beers you’ve come to love.
Let’s Celebrate Together
As we begin winding down over the next five weeks, we invite you to celebrate “The Wicked Dog Days Pawlooza” with us this coming Saturday and join us for the final epic moments still to come. Let’s share more stories, more laughter, and raise a few more pints — together.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Hanover — for welcoming us, supporting us, and choosing us again and again. It has been our deepest honor to serve this community.
Here’s to the memories, the friendships, and the wickedly good times.
Cheers to you all, and thanks for the memories — The Something Wicked Family.
