Several loyal customers and local fans of Copper Kettle Brewery expressed grief and heartbreak following the news of closure. Some of the patrons shared cherished memories and emotional messages on social media.
One of the fans wrote, “I was lucky enough to be part of the Kettle years ago as the taproom manager, and it left a lasting mark on me. So many great people, long nights, and memories that stick with you well beyond your time there. It was never just a brewery…it was a community, and I’m really grateful I got to be a small part of it.”
“Your Mexican Chocolate Stout is one of the reasons I grew to love stouts, and they became my favorite beer. I drank many Mexican Chocolate Stouts while I lived in Denver from 2005 to 2016, and I hope I get to have another before you close in June,” shared another longtime customer.
In the announcement post, the team behind the brewery has not shared any official reason for the closure. Even though the brewery is about to close this summer, it remains focused on celebrating its final months with the community.
