Seattle’s 23rd Ave Brewery opened in June 2022. After three-plus years of operation, the brewery recently announced that it is closing down. 23rd Ave Brewery operated a nano brewery and taproom in the city’s Central District neighborhood, near the corner of South Jackson Street and 23rd Ave (2313 South Jackson Street). The brewery invites folks to stop by the taproom for one last pint before they shut down. Keep an eye on social media for more info about the brewery’s last call. (Photo above from Facebook.)
“After three incredible years, we have made the difficult decision to close our doors,” 23rd Ave Brewery said on social media. “Living out this dream has been one of the greatest adventures of our lives. From the very start, our goal was to be more than just a brewery—it was to be a home base, a place for sharing space with people and building community. Every batch of craft beer we brewed was part of making history with you.”
David Dixon, James Dixon, and Mario Savage grew up together in the Central District. They began homebrewing in 2018. A few years later, they decided to take the next step and open a brewery. Seattle Refined published a nice story about the brewery not long after it opened. When it opened in 2022, 23rd Ave Brewery was one of just a handful of Black-owned breweries in the USA. It was one of three or four Black-owned breweries in Washington, depending on who you asked (I heard both numbers reported). Whatever the case, it’s a too-small number.
“Thank you for being the heart and soul of 23rd Ave. We cherish every memory. Stop by one last time before we close! Details on our final day coming soon.”
