Standard Brewing Co. in Maryland Heights will soon pour its last pint. The 2-year-old brewery announced via Facebook on Wednesday, April 19, that its last day will be Sunday, April 30.
The brewpub opened in 2015 in a former Fudrucker’s space. Co-owner Albert Middeke said the reason for the closure is pretty straightforward.
“Operationally, we just couldn’t pull things together,” he said. “It became a little bit more than we could afford. There’s nothing too dramatic or exciting about it.”
He said there are no plans to continue the brand in a smaller space.
Middeke said the brewpub will be open for normal business hours through April 30. “There’s plenty of inventory,” he said. “There will be deep discounts on growlers, happy hour and late-night specials.”
