Richmond BizSense Reporting Shiplock Brewing Closed
The list of businesses that had previously failed since I’ve lived here includes 7 Hills, Major Willy’s, and Stool Pigeons.
Shiplock Brewing opened at 115 S. 15th Street opened in December of 2019. Earlier this month they closed the doors and turned off the lights for a final time.
Richmond BizSense has all the details:
A ShipLock representative confirmed that the brewery shut down in recent days, and said its brewing equipment and head brewer are heading to Holy Mackerel Small Batch Beers, a new venture in the works near Hopewell.
Holy Mackerel will be run by members of ShipLock’s ownership group, some of whom also own Southern Railway Taphouse on 15th St. and District 5 in the Fan.
ShipLock was the second brewery to occupy the roughly 8,000-square-foot space in Canal Crossing after 7 Hills Seafood & Brewing’s stint there from 2015 to early 2018.
