Tally’s Take
Opened in downtown Bakersfield in 2020 and announced its own shutdown on 7 March 2024, with BakersfieldNow reporting the closure the following day. The archive preserves it as historical rather than dropping it for no longer appearing on the current trail — a brewery that stops existing does not stop having existed, and a trail is not a census.
