USA, FL: Popular brewpub Brewer's Pizza to close permanently this week
Brewery news

After 14 years of serving up artisan beers and hand-crafted pizzas, a popular Jacksonville-area brewpub plans to close permanently this week, Jacksonville.com reported on November 13.

Brewer's Pizza in Orange Park, the home of Pinglehead Brewing Company, announced on social media on November 13 that it is shuttering its doors.

"We will be closed Monday and Tuesday, November 13 and 14, and will be open for beer only Wednesday through Sunday from 3pm-9pm," the microbrewery posted on its Facebook home page.

Taylor Rayburn, general manager, told the Times-Union that the brewpub "no longer was financially sustainable." Brewer's Pizza was hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and never recovered, he said.

Rayburn, who's worked at the brewpub 11 years, said they had tried to avoid closing as long as possible but the bottom line was undeniable.

"We tried offering special events, deals and things like that to remind people that we are part of the neighborhood, were open for business, were very happy to serve them and that we have good products. But it just wasn't enough. The bills kept piling up and the sales kept slowly trending down," Rayburn said.

Brewer's Pizza joins the list of Jacksonville-area restaurants and brewpubs shuttering their doors this year. Among the closures: Tabula Rasa Brewing, Piccadilly Cafeteria, two Burger King franchises and all three Bojangles locations.

In its post, Brewer's Pizza thanked its customers and invited them to buy some of the restaurant's decor as a souvenir.

"Have you had your eye on something but haven’t been able to convince ownership to let you walk away with it? Well, everything is negotiable now. Tap handles, art, if you want it, we may be able to make a deal!," the post read.
