USA: Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant abruptly closes all its locations across several states

A popular, nearly three-decade-old East Coast brewery chain has abruptly shuttered its doors for good, Yahoo!News reported on September 25.

"It’s been our pleasure to serve you, and we are deeply grateful for your support, friendship, and loyalty over the years," Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant announced in social media posts on Thursday, Sept. 25.

Notices have also been posted outside some of the brew-pubs' locations, including one on the Riverfront in Wilmington, Delaware.

"After many wonderful years of serving our communities, this location, along with our other 15 locations, has closed," the note read. "We sincerely hope to return in the future, and when we do, we promise to welcome you with open arms."

The business had 16 locations spread across South Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Georgia, according to the Greenville News, part of the USA TODAY Network.

The abrupt closings come two weeks after the business shut down its original Newark, Delaware, location, as well as two additional locations in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, and Voorhees, New Jersey.

Founded nearly 29 years ago in Newark on Main Street by Mark Edelson, Kevin Finn and Kevin Davies, portions of the company have been sold to outside investors over the years. Despite this, founders Edelson, Finn and Davies all remained as board members.

According to an email sent to employees, obtained by The Delaware News Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, the company is also filing for bankruptcy.
