Leadville, Northglenn Brewer Files for Bankruptcy After Business Goes Flat

A little more than a year after Periodic Brewing shuttered its doors in Leadville and Northglenn, the brewery has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
...Throughout its five years of operation, Periodic served more than 300,000 pints of beer and produced more than 100,000 cans and bottles, according to Labbe. In its filing, the brewery said it had revenue of $784,998 in 2019 and $364,213 in 2020 prior to its closure.
What this article made me think about is the challenges farmers end up facing in turbulent new markets. How many of these breweries were sourcing local grain? How many farmers exploring these new markets have lost business? I still see market creation and support as the biggest challenge for developing the grain portion of building up regional food systems.
