Today marks the end of an era for Blue Blaze Brewing. 🍻 💙 Our taproom at 528 S Turner Ave has closed.

In June of 2016, a dream of a hiker and beer oasis became reality at 528 S. Turner Ave. Today, we close our doors for the final time. What began as a vision required relentless dedication and hard work. Yet, amidst our closure, the legacy of Blue Blaze endures.

Within these walls, friendships blossomed, love stories unfolded, and unforgettable memories were crafted. Award-winning beers flowed from our taps, recipes born by the firepits, and families made us their go-to local spot. From celebrating first homes, birthdays to engagements and weddings, this space has seen it all. While some stories remain untold, the time, effort, and love poured into Blue Blaze will forever endure.

As we bid adieu, our deepest gratitude goes to you, our beloved community. Thank you for being the heart and soul of Blue Blaze Brewing. Your unwavering support made this dream a reality, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Cheers to the memories and to new beginnings! 🌄💙

As a nod to twentieth century American poet, Robert Frost:

Today, we bid farewell, our journey complete,
But the path we've walked remains replete.
For every pint poured, every tale told,
Leaves an indelible mark, a treasure to hold.

Though our doors may close, our spirits soar high,
For the road less traveled, we dared to try.
So here's to the memories, the friendships we've found,
In the heart of Blue Blaze, forever profound.

🎉 From our grand opening in 2016, to the closing toast last Saturday with the incredible crew who made it all happen. 8 years sure have flown! 🍻 Here's to the incredible crew who poured their hearts into every pint and crafted not just a brewery, but a haven for hikers and beer enthusiasts alike. Every nail hammered and every plank placed in our taproom was a labor of love and it's all thanks to these people that Charlotte has come to know Blue Blaze as it is today. Cheers to the memories made in this beautiful space! 🍻
