You win some you learn some. This phrase has held so much optimism for us in recent days as we reflect on our journey. It is with great sorrow that we announce the closure of Wildcard Brewing Co. A crazy dream made reality by the hard work, passion and support of so many people. Looking around the original tap room it's abundantly clear the sense of community created here. The menu board handed down from a friends wedding day, the art on the wall rotated by our talented photographer bartender Keli, a melted Wildcard growler pulled from the ashes of the Carr Fire, so many people besides Jeff and I loved and contributed to this dream and we are so proud of the growth and evolution we saw over nearly 7 years. It was not without it's struggles and challenges. In the end we just were not able to recover from costs required during expansion and financially suffered as our industry became too saturated. To those still working hard at it we have your backs always and ask every person reading this to please shop local first. It matters to the health of your community more than you know. Thank you to our incredibly dedicated staff; we appreciate you more than words could ever express. Thank you all for your love and support as we move through this transition in our lives. Onto new adventures with great lessons learned. Cheers!
Sincerely,
The Hansen Family & Wildcard Crew
