Proclamation Ale Company

With the heaviest of hearts, we are announcing something we hoped we’d never have to:

Proc will be closing its doors.

From the outside, it may have looked like we were happily thriving, but behind closed doors we have been silently battling a number of hardships. Along with losing our founder—and my husband—suddenly in December 2020, we spent the past six years defending ourselves against a lawsuit from a minority partner. This costly legal battle limited our financial options while draining resources that could have been reinvested into the business—resources that might have helped us better withstand lingering post-COVID challenges and industry shifts driven by changes in the economy, as well as evolving drinking and social habits.

Every single day, the entire Proclamation team worked incredibly hard to keep pushing forward, searching for clearer paths. But eventually, there comes a time when you have to accept there are no more paths. This is that time.

Please swipe through images for the entire story.

Thank you for showing up on day one, and for continuing to show up for 12 years. I never imagined this would have taken on the life it did when Dave first came to me with this dream.

Until we close our taproom for good, we ask that you come by one more time (or a few more) and help give Proc—and Dave—a proper send-off. We’ll be open during normal hours until we run out of inventory or simply can’t go on any longer… whichever comes first. Please stay tuned for updates as they come.

Thank you for everything,
Lori
