    Well, at work today a customer mentioned about Back Shed might be closing. Well, here's from their Facebook page. This sucks for me a lot, since I only live a couple of blocks away, and can easily walk there.

    Hello Back Shed Brewing Supporters!
    We want to clear up some rumors about the Crafts Direct building sale and share where things stand with Back Shed Brewing. The building was sold on October 10th. Unfortunately, this sale also included the space where Back Shed is currently located.
    Our landlord had hoped to keep our portion of the building, but no offers were received that would allow us to stay long-term. We now have a temporary lease in place, giving us some time to figure out our next steps. The lease could be up to six months, but much is still uncertain.
    We are actively exploring options for the future. This could include relocating Back Shed Brewing, selling the business to a new owner, or, as a last resort, closing permanently. These are tough decisions, but we’re doing everything we can to find a path forward.
    We wanted you, our valued supporters, to hear this directly from us. Back Shed Brewing has been a dream of ours, and we’re so grateful for the support and connections we’ve built over the past three years.
    If you or anyone you know has space to lease in the area or is interested in purchasing Back Shed Brewing, please reach out through our Facebook Page or email to [email protected].
    Thank you,
    Scott, Jen, and Jason Schlecht
    Back Shed Brewing

    Kleis is retiring at the end of the year, plus he's the Mayor of St. Cloud, not Waite Park, so no. I'm hoping they can find a good place to move to somewhere in the St. Cloud metro area. Sartell really is growing like crazy, so a move there would be good.

    That's a tough one to have only 6 months to "move" an operating brewery. I'm not up on this kind of real estate but I'm sure what they'd probly need doesn't come cheap let alone the move itself. Yeah, perhaps Sartell would be economically better? I told a buddy the other day "I wish there was a little brewery right next to Bravo Burrito."
