Weyerbacher Brewing Company has filed bankruptcy for the 2nd time in just 3 years.
The Easton-based brewery also posted on social media on Wednesday, July 27th, that their taproom would be closed until further notice. The post also addressed the questions and rumors about Weyerbacher. (Read the text of the full post below)
Read our coverage from when the brewery first filed Chapter 11 in 2019 and announced new ownership, as well as our follow-up after they climbed out of bankruptcy.
A search of Federal court records shows that Weyerbacher filed a bankruptcy case on June 27, 2022, in Pennsylvania Eastern Bankruptcy Court.
The brewery is still in production, even though the taproom is closed, and they’re working hard to keep beer on the shelves. The brewers are also still working on new offerings for when the Tap Room reopens.
We reached out to Weyerbacher and have not yet received a comment on this latest news.
Weyerbacher’s Announcement
Friends of Weyerbacher,
There has been a lot of confusion coming out of our taproom lately and we would like to provide you with some clarity and reassurance. First off, we are sending this message with optimism and enthusiasm for what the future holds! Weyerbacher is in the midst of some big changes. Changes that we intend will rejuvenate our brand and carry us through another 27 years and beyond.
There is no map for the changes we are making. Unfortunately, this has led to some bumps in the road over the past few weeks and we have had to make some quick decisions in the moment. Those decisions were necessary, but have also led to questions, rumors, and confusion. We apologize to anyone that has been inconvenienced.
Our taproom is officially closed until further norice. This isn’t the scenario we were hoping for, but it does not deter us from our long-term goals. The good news is that we are still in production and working to keep our core brands on the shelves and available to you. Our brewers are also working on some exciting new offerings from our pilot system for when the taproom re-opens!
This is where we are friends. We want to thank you all for your loyalty and support. The craft beer industry is challenging and breweries do not stay in business for 27 years without good beer and amazing friends. We owe that longevity to the support you have given us over the years. We know this statement doesn’t answer all the questions you may have, but we hope that it dispels the rumors and provides some clarity.
For now,
Birds are real.
The Earth is round.
Weyerbacher still stands.
The moon landing is questionable.
