MARQUETTE, MI— A Marquette brewery is permanently closing its doors.
In a Facebook post Thursday, Barrel + Beam announced it’s ceasing operations after nine years.
The owners said like many small businesses, they’ve faced challenges from rising costs, inflation, tariffs, and an increasingly difficult economic environment. They said while those factors played a role, the decision ultimately came down to family. After much reflection, they realized the sacrifices required to continue were no longer sustainable.
They thank their employees and the public for supporting local, believing in their vision, and helping make the business something special.
