MAXWELTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Purveyor of distinguished beverages throughout Southern West Virginia, Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company announced an indefinite shutdown of operations on Tuesday.
The company, responsible for highly regarded brews such as Mothman Black IPA and Devil Anse IPA, released a statement Tuesday first expressing gratitude to the customers, partners, and distributors of the brand.
The statement went on to reveal the furloughing of employees and subsequent closing of the brewery’s taproom earlier in the month.
“Regrettably as of March 7th our employees were furloughed, and our taproom was closed indefinitely,” read the statement. “Efforts are being made to save the brand, but it is an arduous process.”
Expressing hope for a potential return to the market at some point in the future, the statement encouraged customers to seek our remaining product from the brand on the market, and to offer support for employees of the brewery who no doubt are feeling the impact of the shutdown.
“We are hopeful that GVBC will return to the shelves and taps once again in the future, but in the meantime our distributors do have some product still available in the market.
Our employees are the heart of GVBC, the finished product we strive so hard to create was the soul. Please keep our employees and their families in your thoughts as they are faced with a hard transition at this time.
Finally, Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company called on patrons to support its fellow craft breweries throughout the state, declaring, “Please continue to support other West Virginia craft breweries, drink local, get out, explore, & bring beer! Love, Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company.”
