On New Year’s Day, Pappy Slokum Brewing announced their closing. They had been one of the pioneer breweries in the area opening in 2014 and was a local favorite. Their “Stripper Dust” Porter has been one of their flagship beers over the years. Pappy Slokum posted that they will be having their final goodbye send off on Saturday January 28th from 5-10 pm.
Then this morning, Sockdolager Brewing Company announced that they will not be renewing their lease in the spring of 2023 and will be closing permanently after 6 years in business. They have yet to announce a closing date.
Brownwood’s Primal Brewing has announced their move back to the Abilene area in the next few weeks. Primal first started out in Baird (just outside of Abilene) before moving to Brownwood. Currently that leaves 2 breweries (until Primal arrives), Grain Theory and Sunnhaus Brewing in Abilene moving forward in 2023.
