Metric Brewing, a local brewery and community hot spot, announced in a post shared to the company’s Facebook page that its last day of operation will be June 13.

Roughly one month ago, the company announced that its landlord would not renew its lease at 1213 N. Circle Drive. This prompted community members to show up in support of the local brewery that first opened in 2018.

Metric offers a place for Colorado Springs residents, new and old, to build community, said Averi Holly, a patron who showed up after the first announcement in May.

Longtime brewery in Colorado Springs forced out of home, hopeful of finding new location

“I’m just worried that they’ll be screwed over,” she said. “Like if someone comes in here for just six months and then leaves. … I hope that doesn’t happen.”

“I hope enough people show up and make noise about it to get it to change,” she added.

Company owners at the time were optimistic that they’d find a new location for the beloved brewery. On Monday, the community’s hopes for a new location appeared to be dashed. Four “government branches” are allegedly poised to move into the building, one owner said. Specific details remain murky, though a Metric owner added that their rent would have been much higher if they stayed.

“Our final day will be June 13. It’s been a privilege serving Colorado Springs over the last 7 years,” the post shared Monday said.
