    To put a differing perspective on things. Urban Chestnut Brewery (St. Louis) filed for Chapter 11 in 2024 and by all appearances they are doing OK.

    Maybe Penn will make it through as well?

    Cheers!

    Weyerbacher also made it through multiple bankruptcies

    Penn just hasn't been the same since the original owner sold. I stop in on rare occasions but few of their beers live in my beer fridge anymore - although the St Nick and marzen are in there currently. Their hefeweizen used to be a staple. Still a lovely location to grab a pint though. Hopefully they pull through.

    The Trib says there is a sheriffs sale for some things at Penn 6/1. Not a good sign
