Stubborn Beauty Brewing in Middletown to close!

Stubborn Beauty Brewing has announced they will permanently close on February 2nd. The brewery is located at 180 Johnson Street in Middletown, CT.

The brewery opened in 2014 in the Old Remington Rand Facility in Middletown, just a stone’s throw away from Downtown. The brewery featured a variety of beer styles including NE/Hazy IPA, Saison, Double IPA, Barley Wine, Imperial Stouts, Brown Ale, Belgian Pale Ale, Old Ale, and Milk Stout.

The brewery issued the following message: “We were going to say with great sadness, but that’s not true - it’s with great memories that we were always able to brew what we chose to and beyond humbled that you all actually enjoyed what went from our minds, to paper and eventually into your glass. Stubborn will be closing its doors on Feb 2nd. We will be open today, Saturday Feb 1st, and Sunday Feb 2nd. A lot of the original crew will be working the last day and we’d love to raise a glass in appreciation to all of you for making this a fantastic ten year long chapter in this crazy book. Respect, From everyone who played a part in our story”

The past few years have been brutal for the craft brewery industry, with many locally owned breweries shutting their doors. Some notable recently announced closures include Problem Solved Brewing Company, Thimble Island Brewing Company in Old Saybrook (Branford will remain), Great Falls Brewing Company and many others.
