Blue Blaze Brewing

After an eight-year run, the brewery permanently closed its doors on March 17, 2024, following a challenging rent dispute with its landlord. While the original taproom is closed, the founders have expressed hope to eventually find a new location to continue the Blue Blaze legacy.
