The Sequoia Brewing Company in California's Central Valley, celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere and community gatherings, faced an abrupt demise with the announcement of its closure. The decision was revealed by head bartender Eric Buterbaugh, citing mismanagement by owner Jeremy Smith during the pandemic as the primary reason. The brewery, which included three locations, had recently been entangled in legal disputes, including an eviction lawsuit and age discrimination claims. Despite the closure, Buterbaugh referenced a classic film in expressing hope for the future.
As of Sunday, that's all gone. Bartender Eric Buterbaugh posted on social media that all three Sequoia Brewing locations would be shutting their doors for good.
We are closing because Jeremy Smith, the owner since Covid, horrifically mismanaged his life and a very solid thriving business.
The sudden end of Sequoia Brewing came in the wake of a slew of recent legal actions involving the brewery, including an eviction lawsuit and age discrimination claims.
Buterbaugh expressed a glimmer of hope for the future of the business with a classic movie reference: 'Goonies never say die.'
