"Last call!
Black Acre Brewing will be closing effective February 4th, 2023. We are extraordinarily proud of what we’ve been able to achieve in our 11 years in wonderful Historic Irvington, but it’s time for us to close this chapter.
Oh what a chapter it’s been! We have met so many great people and built life-long friendships along the way. We are truly grateful for all of you. We know we are incredibly lucky to have been able to be a part of the vibrant community here. We’ve laughed together. We’ve cried together. We’ve survived floods, fires, and plagues together. We’ve had lots of tasty beers together. We are really going to miss it.
Let’s go out on a high note! Mark your calendars to celebrate with us:
Saturday, February 4th will be our last day and 11 year anniversary. Cheers and love to you all!"
Black Acre was one of several businesses damaged by a fire in 2019. There were not any injuries reported.
In 2016, the brewery went viral for its response to a sexist customer who had made inappropriate comments to female employees. Founder Jordan Gleason said he wrote the post to shine a light on the overarching problem of disrespect in the service industry, specifically sexism toward women.
