Mother Bunch Brewing, which opened in 2014 on the southeast corner of Seventh Street and Garfield in downtown Phoenix, has closed.
Owner Julie Meeker made the announcement on Facebook:
It is with deep sadness, but also with deep gratitude, that I must announce the closing of Mother Bunch Brewing. I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle over the last few months and I had to come to the hardest decision in my life. I want to personally thank all of our great staff and especially all of the wonderful and amazing people I have had the chance to meet over the last five years. I will never regret this opportunity to share my love of craft beer and spread the story of women in brewing.
The brewery took its name from a character in a 17th-century jest book called ‘‘Pasquil’s Jests Mixed with Mother Bunches Merriments.’’
