A Madisonville brewery is closing at the end of the month.
Bad Tom Smith Brewing announced on social media Thursday night that it would be closing its location at 5900 Madison Road at midnight on Jan. 31.
“Thank you to all of our amazing customers for your continued support over the years here in Madisonville. We are truly grateful for the memories, friendships, and community we’ve built together,” the brewery shared.
Owners Fernando and Jacyln Cruz did not offer a reason for the closure. However, they say this isn’t the end for the brewery, writing, “Stay tuned we hope to continue the legacy of Bad Tom, and we will keep everyone updated as plans move forward for any future endeavors.”
Bad Tom Smith Brewing first opened under Sean Smith, Charles Boucher and Greg Brown in Linwood in 2013. The group sold the brewery in 2015 to John and Sheryl Vojtush, who moved the taproom into a historic former bank in Madisonville around early 2020. The Cruzes purchased the brewery’s brand in 2022.
The brewery will host a final bash on Jan. 31, with discounted food and drinks.
