Hello Friends and Neighbors,
Spring is upon us, and we’d like to share an update on what’s happening here at Oro. We know that our direction lately has been confusing for everyone—us included—so let us take a minute to clear things up as best we can.
The plan was indeed to close and sell the brewery, but after hitting bump after bump, we’ve decided that current circumstances won’t allow for an easy "shut the door and hand over the keys." Instead, we have decided to stay open and continue serving the community to the absolute best of our ability.
Oro has always strived to be a pillar of the community, and during what should have been our final days, we felt that sentiment in full. We cannot begin to express how much everyone’s support means to us. The outpouring of well-wishes and love was not taken for granted. From the bottom of the hearts of everyone here at Oro: thank you so much. You guys are truly amazing.
A common thing we heard was how you felt about the idea of Main Street without Oro. We’re picking up what you’re throwing down, which is a big part of why staying open feels like the right decision to make.
We’ll be finding our footing in a new direction, and we do have a plan to keep things going. We’ve loaded up on bodega snacks and to***co products and have already moved back to regular hours. We’d like to get through our remaining stock while moving forward as a taproom with a focus on local Arizona beer. We still have a substantial amount of fresh beer here, so come get it while you can!
We’ll be addressing new beers, products, and other happenings through social media, so stay tuned. Thank you all for your continued understanding and support.
TL;DR: We are not closing! Despite the plan to sell, we're staying open while making adjustments.
