Creston Brewery

Is this the demise of the Creston Brewery? Door's are locked and no business action.

Sad. Walking distance from my house.
Been there once. No TV's, so didn't have a desire to go back, since I drink beer watching sports. Really don't want to just stare at people. That's creepy.

They may have been out of touch, as far as I am concerned. But still sad to see closed doors.

Rumor was that Saugatuck Brewing bought it. But that's been the rumor for like 3 months with no update, so not so sure about that anymore. I liked it there, but never seemed to know what it wanted to be.

Hope they keep the Creston neighborhood vibes / street parties / art. It was never about the over the top great beer for me, I was more about the atmosphere and vibe.

Completely agree!

I noticed that as well. It was an interesting place, the building is great. Speaking of breweries, Harmony Hall is also locked up tight. Did they go out of business, or are they riding out COVID at the Lake Drive location?

I've noticed that too. Haven't really even seen any activity inside the offices there. Parking lot is almost always completely empty. 

From their website:

Guess they haven't found any incentive to open.

That might be a wise plan if they have the resources. Mothball it until they can get the occupancy numbers that make the numbers work.

I don't recall which bar it was, but someone just posted that they were tapping a keg of Creston's blueberry sweet Street. Not sure how long kegged beer stays for, or if they maybe have still been producing beer?
