CLEVELAND – A popular brewery in Cleveland is closing its doors to keep its employees safe because some customers refuse to follow the rules on wearing masks and social distancing.
Forest City Brewery made the announcement on Facebook Tuesday morning.
“It pains us to inform you that we will be closed to the public beginning 07/22/20. We have done our best to do the right thing and protect the health of our employees, our customers and our neighborhood for the past 2 years. Months,” said the establishment on Facebook.
According to the brewery, employees “had a hard time dealing with people who refuse to wear masks, social distance, or follow the rules set by the city of Cleveland and the state of Ohio.”
The brewery stated that even though its doors are closing, it will continue to serve the community by selling cans and growers in the future.
“Until then, stay safe, Cleveland, we will miss you and see you when you are safe again, and people will begin to act responsibly,” the brewery said.
