Manhattan, Kansas-based Tallgrass Brewing Company has confirmed with MHK Business News that the production plant will suspend operations indefinitely after Friday, August 24. The employees of the regional brewery will be furloughed. The Tallgrass Tap House will remain in operation…
“A few short years ago, craft beer drinkers were going to the liquor store to buy their beer. As craft beer became more prolific, people started frequenting their local taproom or brewery instead of buying regional or national craft brands from the liquor store. For a small, regional brewery like Tallgrass, that shift hit us really hard,” said Gill.
“Over the course of a long 14 months, we had been trying to recapitalize the brewery," said Gill. "We thought the deal was going to close near the end of last winter, so I moved on. The deal continued to be delayed in negotiations and paperwork until finally, this week, it was determined that operations could not be sustained.”
