"Please stay tuned for further information on the historical next chapter of 19350 Livernois Avenue," the added.

The brewery's Midtown location on Canfield Street between Second and Cass avenues will stay open. The Midtown location is the brewery's original location. The brewery is known for its popular Ghettoblaster ale, along with seasonal brews, wine, craft soda and brick-oven pizzas.
