The mostly complete guide to New Year’s hours at local breweries

This is technically a New Year’s sunset from a past year, but it’s what we had to go with this story, so, uh, huzzah.

As we do for most significant holidays, as a public service we attempt to compile all the brewery hours of operation for whatever is up next. In this case, it is New Year’s Eve and Day, which leads to some odd hours and closings, as breweries debate staying open late, closing early, or closing entirely due to Wednesday’s festivities, and then have to decide when it’s best to open (if it all) on Thursday.

A few breweries are hosting parties Wednesday night, from metro area spots like Calavida Cantina, Flock of Moons, JUNO, Kaktus, Sidetrack, and Tractor Wells Park to out-of-town spots like Tumbleroot Agua Fria. Check all the social media pages to see if anyone else is doing something special among those staying open late.
