Tucson’s Dillinger Brewing sold, will cease operations Oct. 31 after 7 years

🍺 Dillinger Brewing, a 7-year-old craft brewery in Tucson, has been sold and will cease operations on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

In a social media post, Dillinger owners Eric Sipe and Aaron Long announced an unidentified ‘‘local business’’ is taking over the Oracle Road brewery, as well as a separate Fourth Avenue taproom, with its own branding.

‘‘You may still be able to purchase Dillinger beer without a physical location, working on finding a partner now,’’ the social media post says.

Dillinger is the third Arizona brewery to cease operations in recent weeks.
