Amelia Island Brewing Announces Closure
After nearly ten years, Amelia Island Brewing Company is bidding farewell to the community. The tavern, restaurant, and brewpub near Fernandina Beach has long been a favorite among locals.
Known for its food and craft beers, Amelia Island Brewing has been a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. It was among the first fully operational craft breweries in the region.
Through an social media post, the restaurant announced its closure and the post read, “Amelia Island Brewing Company would like to thank our guests and team for nearly a decade of wonderful memories and shared experiences. We are proud of our charitable service in the community with our spaghetti dinners and donations to local chapters over the years, and through that have built amazing relationships.”
The post further mentioned, “As we close this chapter, we want to leave you with one heartfelt reminder: support the businesses you love. Follow them on social media. Leave the kind review. Tell your friends. Show up for them, even in small ways.”
“Those acts of support mean everything to the people behind the scenes: the servers, cooks, bartenders, managers, and owners who pour their hearts into what they do. Lastly, we will no longer be serving breakfast on the weekends for the remaining days of operation,” added the AIBC team.
