After more than a decade in northeast Minneapolis, Bauhaus Brew Labs says it’ll close at the end of June.
The operators of the craft brewery and event space posted Thursday on social media that “despite pulling every lever available to us, the financial headwinds have proven to be insurmountable, and we have made the very difficult and heartbreaking decision to close our doors.”
Among the factors Bauhaus cited were increased supply chain costs, shifting consumer preferences and lingering effects of the pandemic. They also pointed to the effects of the recent federal immigration enforcement surge on the Twin Cities’ hospitality industry.
Bauhaus said diversifying into new kinds of products — including hard seltzers, non-alcoholic beer and THC beverages — as well as adding more programming and events, was not enough to overcome those challenges.
Bauhaus Brew Labs opened in the summer of 2014. Its annual Liquid Zoo event is still happening during Art-A-Whirl this weekend, and the brewery said it’s planning a 12-year anniversary and going-away party for the last weekend of June.
“Keeping a brewery alive for 12 years in this city, in this industry, in these times: that is something. We are proud of it, and we are proud to have shared it with you,” the brewery’s statement said.
