Memphis’s oldest craft brewery, Ghost River Brewing Co., is closing its Beale Street taproom and shifting all operations back to its original location on South Main.
“After an epic 5 years of being part of the historic Beale Street community, we have made the difficult decision to close our beloved Beale-Garden location and focus our energy on the Original (and newly expanded!) South Main Street Taproom,” the brewery announced today on social media.
Ghost River opened its flagship brewery at 827 S. Main in 2007, later adding a taproom in 2016. It has invested heavily in the original location over the last couple of years, expanding the taproom and outdoor event space.
The brewery’s announcement today invited people to check out the updated space:
“Our South Main Street Taproom and patio has grown into such a fun atmosphere, all thanks to our patrons, and we want to be able to continue offering you a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere with good beer, good music and a variety of events for our Memphis community to thrive in, try new things, meet people and celebrate all that we love about Memphis, mane!”
Ghost River’s location on Beale was opened in July 2021 by current owner Bob Keskey, featuring a taproom, beer garden and small brewing operation. Its last day of operation will be Thursday, May 7.
“We want to take this time to extend a heartfelt thanks to all our patrons, the Beale Street community, Grizzlies/Tigers and Redbirds fans, for making our time on Beale Street memorable and filled with fun.”
