Eternity Brewing Co., based in Livingston County Detroit, Michigan, has announced that it is closing its doors after June.
The beloved spot in Livingston County will officially be shutting at the end of the month, and it is still not known why.
Fans had been left in the dark about the closure, and had no idea it was happening until it was announced.
On social media, owner Ethan Whitesell posted an emotional goodbye message to customers.
He said that the decision to close was “not an easy choice” and called his time as owner one of the “greatest joys” of his life.
Ethan wrote on Facebook: “Running this place has been one of the greatest joys and challenges of my life, but in my current circumstances, I no longer have the ability to keep up the fight.
“This was not an easy choice, and it’s one that comes with a lot of mixed emotions.”
Whitesell bought the brewery in 2019.
FINAL WEEKS
In the run up to closure, customers at Eternity Brewing Co. can expect a fond farewell.
The company will hold various events, barrel releases, and more, leading up to the final pour.
Customers have been invited to come and clear out inventory and “share some laughs” before closing.
Ethan will be “tapping our remaining brews, filling a ton of cans, opening up the barrels we had slated for release this month, and putting on some final events to celebrate what Eternity has been over the years.”
As far as the future of the brewery goes, Ethan has invited anyone to take over the company.
He continued: “For anyone who’s ever dreamed of running their own brewery, Eternity Brewing is ready and waiting for a new chapter.
