In what seems to be a deluge of brewers deciding to pursue other passions or deciding to close their breweries, Jacksonville’s Historically Hoppy Brewing Company posted recently that the brewery team will close their doors before 2024 is over.
From Historically Hoppy Brewing Company:

As many of you know, it was a dream of ours to open a brewery and we’ve had a ton of fun doing it. As we come up to our lease renewal, we’ve reflected on the time and energy it takes to keep the brewery running and beer in the kegs, and have decided it’s no longer something we want to continue. While we’re sad to let the brewery go, we’re all excited to have more time to spend with our families and pursue our other hobbies. We also plan to go back to home brewing, so for those who know us, our beers aren’t going away forever.

Having said all that, we still have a couple more beers we are going to brew and we have a ton in the tanks and kegs, so our plan is to make the best of the next couple months and have a final party sometime in December.

On a related note, if you or someone you know, would like to own a brewery, please contact us!
Thank you all for two-and-a-half unforgettable years!

About Historically Hoppy Brewing
The McFarlands and Leedys first met as neighbors in historic Springfield in 2018. In addition to a fast friendship, a joint passion for beer and brewing became evident. Soon every weekend was filled brewing and brewery hopping. Recipes compounded, and entire rooms of houses were dedicated to the craft of brewing. By 2020 the desire to elevate their craft (and reclaim a significant portion of their houses’ downstairs) was firmly rooted in the entire group.
