Wiens Brewing Company
Temecula, California, USA · Est. 2012
Tally's Take
Why this matters
A Temecula production microbrewery founded in 2012, which announced on its own Instagram that it would close on 1 May 2021. Wiens Cellars continues as an operating winery — and the archive is explicit that winery survival is not brewery survival. Same name, same ground, different business, and the brewery is closed.
