beer's got the blues
Oskar Blues falls in wave of North Austin brewery closures
Oskar Blues Brewery in North Austin is no more.
The Colorado-based craft brewery, located along Metric Boulevard, put up a sign on its door, which simply reads "We are closed," along with:
"We have enjoyed being part of the Austin craft beer and music community, and we thank everyone who supported our business along the way. If you are still interested in finding our beer, it remains available at retailers across the state of Texas."
However, no reason was given as to why the brewery shut down or what happened to its employees.
KVUE attempted to reached out to Oskar Blues on Saturday, but did not get a response.
The sudden closure comes as other breweries situated in the North Austin area have also closed.
In 2022, Adelbert's Brewing and 4th Tap Brewing shut down.
The latest brewery closure, according to Craft Beer Austin, was Circle Brewing Co. on Braker Lane in Sept.
Despite the closures, other businesses in the area appear to be staying afloat.
