The new year will bring a new future for an Allentown brewery, which will close its taproom after more than a decade of business.
HiJinx Brewing Co. announced it will close its taproom at 905 Harrison St. on Dec. 20 with a “Holiday Sip & Shop and Holiday Beer Blowout.” It will end brewery operations at the location Dec. 31.
“This is a pause — not the end of HiJinx,” the brewing company said online. “Like many small breweries, we’ve felt the impact of rising costs and shifts in the craft beer world. Even so, the spirit of HiJinx is very much alive, and we’re already exploring what a future chapter might look like — whether in a new location, a new format, or a fresh partnership. We can’t thank you enough for all the love you’ve shown us over the years — from pints of Wicked White and CitraSqueeze to trivia nights, music events, seasonal releases, and every laugh shared in between. You’ve made HiJinx what it is.”
HiJinx recommended customers watch out for other final event announcements.
The Allentown taproom opened in August 2014 under owner Curt Keck.
HiJinx also opened a taproom in January 2024 at the Sports Factory of the Lehigh Valley in Upper Macungie Township, but that closed in February of this year.
