Popular brewery closes Wayne County location with 'extreme sadness and heavy heart'

WALWORTH — Effective immediately, K2 Brothers Brewing's Wayne County location, which opened a year ago in the former Freewill Elementary School, is closing. In a Facebook post, the company said Monday in part: "It is with extreme sadness and a very heavy heart, we must announce the immediate closing of K2 Bros Brewing at Freewill. This is not a message any of us ever would have expected or wanted to send. This decision is not one that was made hastily and sadly the decision was ultimately forced due to rising ingredient & materials costs, lower than expected sales and a series of unexpected and unfortunate events." A message for further comment was not immediately answered. K2 Brothers' location on Empire Boulevard will remain open, according to the post, and all Freewill mug club members will be honored and any and all gift cards are valid for use in house or online. K2 Brothers Brewing opened in 2017 at 1221 Empire Blvd., across from Irondequoit Bay in Penfield, in the former All That Jazz antiques store. The Freewill location opened in January 2024 to much fanfare, particularly from former students and staff members of the former school. The school closed in 2017 because of declining enrollment. K2 Brothers also announced last January its purchase of the Young Lion Brewing brand. Young Lion formerly operated in Canandaigua at a location now owned by the Other Half Brewing.
