Local favorite Jekyll Brewing will permanently close all five locations this Saturday. Customers have just days to enjoy final pints at the Georgia-based brewery that’s been serving craft beer enthusiasts since 2013.

🍺 Why It Matters: The closure affects beer lovers across multiple communities and represents another casualty in Georgia’s struggling craft brewery scene, which has seen multiple shutdowns over the past year.

🏢 What’s Happening: Owner and CEO Michael Lundmark confirmed the permanent closure through a Facebook post in the Atlanta Beer Society’s private group.
