Two beer businesses in the Rochester area have announced they are closing. Both Beers of the World and Fifth Frame Brewing Company will be shutting their doors for good.
Beers of the World says its Henrietta location will cease operations on Feb. 26. According to the company, the decision was made due to “changes in the economy and beer industry.”
Beginning on Jan. 4, the Henrietta location will reduce hours to 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday-Saturday, and will be closed on Sunday. The Batavia location will remain open. The company has been in business for more than 40 years.
Fifth Frame Brewing, located in Irondequoit, near the Port of Rochester, announced its closure on Facebook, saying it was “an incredibly difficult decision, however unavoidable.”
The company included this statement:
“We cannot thank the Rochester community, and our friends across the state & across the oceans enough for the support, business and relationships forged over the years. We were so warmly welcomed into the Summerville community as well, and are beyond grateful. We will miss being here.”
Fifth Frame concluded its post by asking the community to continue supporting local businesses and craft breweries.Â
