Will County Brewing Company Closes Channahon Bar For Good

River Hawk Brewery flopped in Channahon and now the owners of the Will County Brewing Company are focusing on Shorewood.

In February 2023, Brian Lorenc and Jamie Albert opened the Will County Brewing Company's second location, in Channahon. Their Shorewood microbrewery marked its five-year anniversary in March of 2023.

CHANNAHON — About a year and a half after Will County Brewing Company opened their second location, taking over the shuttered River Hawk Brewery along Route 6, the owners of the Shorewood-based microbrewery have decided that enough is enough, it's time to close the Channahon location forever.

The announcement came on Tuesday afternoon, alerting Facebook followers of Will County Brewing, "We've made the decision to permanently close our Channahon location effective today to be able to focus on our brand and the success of our Shorewood taproom. Thank you for your continued support. Cheers!."
