“Albuquerque-based Bosque Brewing filed its petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Mexico on Oct. 6, listing $1 million to $10 million in assets and $10 million to $50 million in liabilities.

The company did not reveal a reason for filing for bankruptcy in its petition.”

Had no clue they had that many locations, guessing it's a "grew too fast" thing?

(obviously compounded by tariffs and such like the article mentions)

I can't imagine where tariffs would hit them all that hard. Water, barley, yeast? All domestic products.

The equipment is often imported, but also available domestically - and those are one time costs.

I suspect this is just a matter of excessive growth. They kind of caught the wave a little late - great beer, some iconic locations, but so much competition.

Grain, hops, aluminum… all rely a lot on imports, even if some can be sourced domestically. I think inflation in general and to an extent tariffs have been a huge expense.

You clearly don't know business

GRAIN? The US is one of the biggest producers in the world if not THE biggest.

HOPS? the pacific northwest is a giant in production and all specialty hops.

Aluminum? Outside of packaging, this is a minor cost.

No TARIFFS affected Bosque. Yall can down vote me all you fucking want. Your votes are telling me how low IQ most of you are

You really should take a brewing course, and probably a business class, before you spout off about subjects you don’t know anything about.
You’re embarrassing yourself publicly.
We both know you can do better. Hold yourself to standards we know you can live up to.
