Dear Valued Patrons,
We hope this message finds you well. It is with mixed emotions that we write to inform you of our decision to retire from the beer industry. Over the years, we have had the privilege of serving you and providing you with quality brews, and for that, we are profoundly grateful.
Our journey in the beer industry has been nothing short of amazing. From the creation of unique and flavorful concoctions to seeing the joy on your faces as you sipped our beverages, we have cherished every moment. However, after careful consideration, we have come to the decision to close this chapter in our lives.
Please know that this decision was not taken lightly. We have poured our hearts and souls into this business, and now it is time for us to embark on new adventures and pursue different passions. We will continue to own and manage Cellars Wine Club https://cellarswineclub.com and pursue building Senior Apartments https://markallencompany.com.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to each one of you for your unwavering support throughout the years. Your loyalty and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind our success. We have seen friendships blossom, celebrations held, and memories created within the walls of our establishment, and we will forever cherish those moments.
Though we may be bidding farewell to the beer industry, our memories, and the relationships we've formed will always remain with us. We encourage you to continue exploring the world of craft beer, seeking out new flavors, and supporting local breweries. The beer community is filled with enthusiastic individuals who are dedicated to creating exceptional brews, and we are confident that you will find new favorites along your beer journey.
Closing our doors does not imply that we will neglect any of our obligations regarding events leading up to our end date, August 31st. Quite the contrary, we remain committed to fulfilling all the commitments and obligations we have made. We are especially proud of the many great moments and celebrations that Sumerian Brewing and its taproom have hosted for, and with, the community and so it will continue through to the end. Sumerian Brewing will host one more soiree, a kill-the-kegs sort of event. Details coming soon.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of you. It has been an honor to be a part of your lives, and we will forever remember the smiles, laughter, and conversations we shared. We hope that our paths may cross again in the future, and until then, we raise a final glass to you, our valued patrons.

With deepest gratitude,
Mark & Holly Ihrig [Sumerian Brewing Co. Owners/Proprietors]
