By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com

An area brewery in the Northside Village area has announced that it will pour its last pint early next week, just two months shy of its one-year anniversary.

On Monday afternoon, Black Page Brewing Co. announced via its social media pages that the brewery will be closing its doors for good at the end of the day on July 30 –just 10 months after it opened in the area. The reasons for closing were not given in the social media posts.

“We’d like to thank so many people who have supported us during this amazing but often difficult 10 months, most especially our staff, loyal customers, investors, food vendors, and musicians,” the post read.

“We are incredibly proud of the beer that we’ve made and the environment that we’ve created.” drink on Sunday, just two months

Black Page initially opened last October at 210 Glen Park St. promising “traditional German-style lagers and adventurous American ales.” To do so, co-founders Anthony Heins and Chris Manriquez joined forces with German master brewer Henryk Orlik – formerly of Louisiana’s Abita Brewing Company – to work on the buildout of the production facility next to the taproom.

And though it is soon to be no more at close of business on Sunday, its founders said they are proud of what they accomplished, and hope the spirit of the space lives on.

“It is our sincere hope that this brewery will live on and that someone is willing to continue what we set out to do by embracing the history of beer while peering anxiously beyond the horizon,” the post read.
