    For some time a bottle shop in my area occasionally stocked beers from KelSo in Queens (maybe Brooklyn). I enjoyed their beers especially their Industrial Pale Ale. However, I haven't seen KelSo beers in a few years.

    There doesn't seem to be any recent activity on their BA page but there's also nothing that specifically designates the brewery as closed. Further, their website link doesn't work.

    My guess is that this brewery is now defunct, but I thought maybe someone here could confirm or deny that supposition.

    Thanks,

    Well, Google says it's closed and it appears most of their packaged beers were contract-brewed, by Sly Fox or Greenpoint.

    I'm almost positive they packed up and went to Arizona? Maybe rebranded under a different name?

    I haven’t seen that name around in a long time. Reminds me of another local brewery Moustache that popped up right around the start of the big boom but haven’t seen since.

    I am almost positive Moustache (the one in Riverhead) closed before COVID.

    Pretty sure the Moustache guy is involved with Übergeek now.

    I had a pretty good one from them a few weeks ago at Jacobs Pickles. Never heard of them before, so was surprised to see that my friend had checked into the same beer like 3 years ago.
