Reed City Brewing Company recently announced it has received enough funds over the weekend to keep its doors open.

Following a slow winter in sales, the company had a default on the building’s mortgage and was facing foreclosure in February. Thanks to community support in the form of gift cards, sales and donations, the brewery raised more than $2,000 to get back on track with bills.

“We have officially made it as far as saving our building,” the brewery said in a Facebook post. “We are truly grateful for everyone and when we needed our RCBC family, y’all showed up and words could not express the love we have felt.”

According to co-owner Kevin Murphy, the brewery will be raising its prices soon due to the rising costs of goods. He also said the location plans to host some events coming up as soon as St. Patrick’s Day.

“We’re going to be doing some more music events,” Murphy said. “Whether it’s comedy night, music night and different dinner specials, we’re going to start getting more involved in that.”

Murphy said the brewery just upgraded its kitchen and hood system. Once approved, they plan to expand their menu and begin serving items like hamburgers. With that also means hiring some new help, especially for the busy spring season.

“(We are looking for help) both up front serving and in the kitchen,” Murphy said. “We’re also going to be soon looking for one or two high schoolers to work a few hours in the evenings and on the weekends.”

Reed City Brewing Company has been in business since 2017 at 141 West Upton Avenue.
