It is with the heaviest heart that we’re announcing the closure of the Wah Gwaan taproom on January 31st. While we absolutely love our community and want to keep producing island brews, there are insurmountable external obstacles that have hindered us up until this point. Inflation, rising costs and the state of the economy have put us in this difficult position and we are not able to remain open while providing the service you've come to love and expect.

For this Bronx girl born to parents that immigrated to the US from Jamaica and this West Denver native, opening a brewery in Colorado that celebrated our cultures was a dream.

Closing our Denver taproom doesn’t mean that Wah Gwaan won’t reopen someday. If you have any connections or thoughts on what a next spot could look like, we're open to hearing about them - just send us a DM.

If there’s anything we learned in this crazy process of starting and owning our own business, it’s that no matter how stressful, every little thing is gonna be alright.

The Wah Gwaan brand won't be disappearing just yet, catch us at these upcoming events:

• 1/18: Beer Education Event at 7PM - hosted at Wah Gwaan (follow the link in bio to grab tickets — space is limited)
• 1/25: BPKT Game Night at 7PM - hosted at Wah Gwaan
• 1/28: Closing Party from 2PM-9PM and Jesse’s birthday! - hosted at Wah Gwaan (stay tuned for more details)
• 2/14: "A Q***r Love Letter" at 5PM - a collaboration event between , , and Wah Gwaan - hosted at Town Hall Collaborative

You'll also be able to find our beer at Lady Justice Brewing (our beer friends there will be hosting us as a guest tap), , and .

Thank you so much for your love and support fam ❤️

Walk good and take care,
Harsha and Jesse
