Brewery Closures in Washington

Buyout or full liquidation for Washington breweries — Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and statewide. We handle disconnect, rigging, loading and freight, so you are not coordinating three vendors during the worst month of your year.

What Washington closures usually look like

The Pacific Northwest brews at scale and buys good stainless. Washington closures regularly turn up well-maintained fermenters and brites from breweries that were serious about cellar hygiene. Hop-forward production also means a lot of centrifuges, DO meters and lab gear worth pulling.

Getting it out of Washington

Cross-country lane. Worth consolidating — we will tell you honestly whether the freight math works on a given package.

Two ways we can do this

Buyout

One check for the whole package. We come to Seattle or wherever you are, look at what you have, and make an offer. If you take it, we handle the removal and you are finished.

Full liquidation

We list and sell each piece to end users over a period of weeks and pass the proceeds through less our fee. Higher gross than a buyout, and it takes longer. Right when you have time and wrong when you do not.
