Harriet Brewing To Close; Cites Conflicting Development Plans

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Harriet Brewing, a popular south Minneapolis brewery that specializes in German- and European-inspired brews, will be closing early next year.

The brewery announced the news via Facebook early Tuesday afternoon, saying development plans with the property do not align with Harriet. The brewery will close after Jan. 31, 2017.

The brewery says there are no plans for relocation.

"After much contemplation, it has become apparent that Harriet can only exist in its current location," the brewery said. "Attempting to relocate and repeat would be lame. Relocating would require a new brand and business plan, and, frankly, starting another brewery now seems unoriginal and risky in this saturated market."

The brewery then asks customers to support the final chapter of the brewery, saying "the music will rock and the beer will flow till the end!"
