Beloved Brewery and Bar Chain Closing
But on July 2, the party came to an end.
TRVE Brewing founder Nick Nunns announced on social media he is closing both of his taprooms. The final day will be July 12.
'It hasn't been an easy choice, but this brewery has run its course, and for a huge number of reasons, it's the right time to send this thing off into the lake trailed by a fiery arrow,' Nunns wrote on Instagram and Facebook.
Nunns didn't say whether beer production would also stop.
Nunns said he started TRVE in 2011 "with a mediocre business plan, no professional brewing experience, and way less money than (he) needed." with the hopes of making some good beer and listening to the music he liked.
In his social media post, he thanked everyone who helped him along the way, including the "maniacs in the brewery to the masochists behind the bar."
"Ultimately, this brewery has provided me with things that cannot be measured by capitalism, no matter how hard that vicious and broken machine may fumble around with spreadsheets and ledgers and trying," Nunns wrote.
TRVE's closure is the latest specialty brewery to close as the industry has undergone a transformation and customer tastes have changed.
In 2024, the craft beer industry experienced a decline in the number of breweries, with more closing than opening for the first time in nearly two decades, according to the Brewers Association.
The Association attributes the shift to a number of factors including increased competition, rising costs, and changing consumer preferences.

Trump Praised a Sydney Sweeney Ad, and American Eagle's Stock Soared
On Monday, American Eagle's stock rose by more than 23 percent after President Trump complimented the company's controversial advertisement featuring the actress Sydney Sweeney, upon learning that she shared his political affiliation. When speaking with reporters on Monday morning, Mr. Trump was asked what he thought about the backlash to her ad campaign and then was told that Ms. Sweeney is a registered Republican. 'Now I love her ad,' he said. He added, 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans.' Then, on social media, he posted that the ad was 'the 'HOTTEST' ad out there.' He said that American Eagle's jeans were 'flying off the shelves' and then said, 'Go get 'em, Sydney!' Public voting records in Florida confirm that Ms. Sweeney registered as a Republican on June 14, 2024, but the actress has not commented publicly on political issues, nor has she publicly endorsed Mr. Trump. Representatives for Ms. Sweeney did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the issue. The show of support from the president probably contributed to the surge in American Eagle's stock, Rich Smith, a stock market analyst at the financial services company Motley Fool, wrote in a post on Monday. But such an endorsement could end up being a 'double-edged sword' for the company, he wrote, because it could 'alienate' segments of consumers. The stock lost some of the gains on Tuesday, with a 2 percent decline at the opening bell and further declines after the start of trading, but Monday's bump was an example of Mr. Trump's influence on the market and on the financial condition of businesses. The company has been struggling — its sales declined in the first quarter of the year — and the ad campaign was an attempt to reverse its downward trajectory. With his comment and post, Mr. Trump seemed to provide a boost to that effort. The ad in question, which was released in July, shows the popular actress clad in American Eagle denim while she talks about genetic traits. The camera then zooms into her blue eyes as she says, 'My jeans are blue.' When the ad first appeared online, American Eagle's stocks rallied in a bout of meme-stock mania. That initial bump to the company's stock price was short-lived. The ad — along with its accompanying tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' — was criticized on social media for seemingly celebrating eugenics and white beauty standards, and the stock tumbled. The ad also set off debates about whether the company deliberately courted controversy as a marketing strategy and about the ever-shifting standards of political correctness. On Friday, days after the ad was released, American Eagle posted a statement on Instagram declaring the campaign 'is and always was about the jeans.' It did not immediately respond to requests for comment about Mr. Trump's endorsement or the company's recent stock performance.

A full-time day trader shares his 3 pieces of advice for getting into investing
"I could have saved myself so much time and money if I just invested first in my education," Zach Kleinwaks told Business Insider about his start in day trading. Now, Kleinwaks, 27, is a full-time day trader and posts his favorite stocks and hot takes with his 14,000 Instagram followers and 30,000 TikTok followers. He also teaches strategies for trading options and futures as an analyst at Stock Dads, a premium membership platform. He shared his three tips for getting into day trading. 1. Educate yourself Kleinwaks began day trading part-time in 2018 while studying at New York Institute of Technology and playing college baseball. His parents traded stocks when he was growing up, and he saw increasing numbers of people posting on social media about making money. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kleinwaks' baseball career was cut short, so he decided to educate himself on trading before starting to do it full time in 2022. But he wished he had done this sooner. "You're not going to make money unless you have the education behind it," Kleinwaks added. He described his own approach as making connections and finding mentors, "kind of just like sifting through different people, different strategies, and kind of figuring out what was legit." 2. Have 'zero expectations' Kleinwaks advised beginners not to enter the market expecting to make a certain amount within a specific period. "Have zero expectations," he said, adding, "Expect the worst, hope for the best." Kleinwaks said he thought that the recent meme-stock mania — where shares in companies like Opendoor, Kohl's, and Krispy Kreme skyrocketed without an obvious catalyst such as strong earnings — was driven by investors who lacked a long-term plan and were eager to make money fast. "They don't have the confidence to make money in the market, so they feel like they need to gamble," he said. 3. Try to improve every day Kleinwaks also advised traders to improve "regardless of what step you're at." "You're going to make money, you're going to lose money, but don't try to make the same bad mistake multiple times," he added. He listed the most common mistakes as blindly following trades others say they are making on social media, putting in too much money at a time, and succumbing to FOMO, such as buying meme stocks now to make up for missing the GameStop frenzy in 2021. "I always circle back every year like, 'wow, I wish I knew what I know now, then,'" Kleinwaks said.
