Brewery Closing Months After Owner's Heartbreaking Health Announcement

A Milwaukee brewery is shutting its doors just a few months after one of its owners revealed her gut-wrenching cancer battle.

1840 Brewing Company, which closed its newer location in West Bend earlier this month after 13 months, announced in a social media post Friday that it is shuttering its original Bay View taproom, which has been open since 2017. The final day of service will be June 29.

"We are so grateful for the connections, friendships, collaborations, and memories we have made together.
