MCCORDSVILLE, Ind. — A popular Hancock County brewery will be closing its doors in 2025.
Scarlett Lane Brewing announced on Facebook this week that last call for the establishment will be on New Years Eve.
In the post, owner Eilise Lane cited building repairs that were unaffordable as part of the reason for the closure. Lane now intends to sell the 4-acre property and all equipment.
A full copy of their statement on the closure can be found below:
”It is time to share heartbreaking news. After a lot of reflection and discussion as a team, we intend on selling our 4-acres, buildings and equipment here in McCordsville. This is not something we had planned on or hoped we would ever have to do. However, we are exploring current interest in our property and that coupled with sudden health changes, building needs, and the overall market, we decided it was best to move forward in this direction and focus solely on this goal.
Please know we did all that we could to keep SLB going while I searched for health answers and battling through a very soft service industry market. It all came to ahead when it became clear that getting healthy was going to be a bigger struggle than hoped for. This was coupled with a request for us to update our building with unaffordable changes for what was (apparently) missed during our 2013 build-out approval.
We will get more sentimental in our posts as we get closer to our final service, but we want you to know that McCordsville means so much to me and the SLB team that I can’t put it all into words. Being a part of the town’s explosive growth over the last 10+ years has been extraordinary and makes my heart happy that we contributed to the town’s next chapter. I wish it would have continued, but alas health, unexpected building requirements, and a unfavorable small business market decided differently.
Please join us from now until end of business on New Year’s Eve, December 31st 2024 for the last call in McCordsville.
*We will be open every day from now (including Monday, December 30th) until close on December 31st for regular hours*
Thank you very much for supporting us for over 10 years!”
Cheers,Eilise Lane”
