Update from Hellbender:

“Dear PoPville,

Have heard a rumor that Hellbender Brewing in NE may be closing soon; have you heard any whispers? I know no brewery is run perfectly, but man, this would be wild! A friend called; they confirmed this Sunday will be their last, unfortunately.

Blast from the past, November 4, 2014: “Hellbender Brewing Company launching first DC-made beer tomorrow at Iron Horse”

This past May we posted their fundraiser: “Save our suds: A local brewery on the brink”

Updates as we learn more.

If true, Hellbender would join the sad list of DC Breweries that have closed over the years: Chocolate City, 3 Stars, Gordon Biersch. Capitol City. District Chophouse.
