Funguys Brewing Taproom Shuts Down

0:00It's March 31st. This is Durham News today, powered by AI. Fun guys, brewing in Raleigh just shut down its tap room after seven years of slinging brews. The spot, once crowned the Triangles Top Brewery by news and observer readers back in 2022, made the announcement on Thursday, March 26th. Owners, Carly and Nick Brango say the beer lives on in bottle shops, bars, and restaurants around town. They built a name on those hazy IPAs, dropping small batch experiments with wild hop combos that kept craft beer heads coming back. No were from the owners on why the tap room closed, but it's hitting fans right in the fields. This fits a rough pattern in the Triangles beer scene, with tap rooms shrinking fast. Last year alone saw Durham's proximity brewing vanish, along with vicious fishes in Foucai Verena and Apex, plus cotton house and carry. Even with the door shut, Foucai's is still pouring at this month's Y'all means all festival, keeping that vibe alive.
