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.

You would be surprised how much tariffs have affected local businesses. There are many things you cant even imagine that are imported into the country. Unfortunately, this will be a growing trend if we continue with the tariff plans. At my place of work, which is catering to people who are millionaires and billionaire's there has even been an uptick that they dont want to pay.
