USA, MI: Loaded Dice Brewery serves its final beer in Troy

Loaded Dice Brewery served its final beer last week, FOX 2 Detroit reported on March 10.

The Troy brewery shared Friday afternoon (March 7) that the business was closing immediately.

In addition to the closure of Loaded Dice, the closure of Rebuy Brewing Co. - formerly Brooks Brewing in Shelby Township - was also announced. The owners of Loaded Dice took over Brooks and rebranded the brewery several months ago.

"We gave it everything we had, holding on as long as we could, but the current market conditions have made it impossible to continue," the owners wrote in posts made on both Loaded Dice's and Rebuy's social media pages.

The posts ended with a message: "This isn't goodbye — just see ya later."

Loaded Dice had also been planning a second LD location in Clawson, but issues with the building last year had delayed that project, and it never opened.

These are just the latest in a string of recent brewery closures across the state. Last month, Blue Skies Brewery closed. The business did not cite a reason for shuttering, but directed patrons to its other unaffected locations in Jackson and the Irish Hills area.
