As 2025 continues to hammer its theme of tough sledding for craft breweries throughout the United States, as well as the State of Florida, another craft brewery has decided to ‘hit pause’ on their current space. Just as was the headline with Bootleggers Brewing of Brandon, the Panhandle’s Emerald Republic Brewing has decided to take a break with the caveat of not being finished.

Prior to the post, a commenter on the brewery’s social media reported seeing a “For Sale” sign in front of the brewery. When asked about it, the brewery did not respond with a comment.

From Emerald Republic Brewing Company:

𝗕𝗜𝗚 changes. 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗘 heart.

You may have noticed our doors are temporarily closed — but don’t worry, this 𝑖𝑠𝑛’𝑡 goodbye. We’re just hitting “pause” while we plan our next chapter. Whether it’s in our current location or in a brand-new spot, we’re working hard behind the scenes to welcome you back soon.

Thank you for your support, patience, and all the love you’ve shown us. Sign up at emeraldrepublicbrewery.com to get all the latest updates.

Emerald Republic Brewing is also distributed through Goldring Gulf Distributing in ten counties and has not updated whether beer will still be available in distribution.
