DENVER (KDVR) — In January, Denver's metal music scene lost Incantation Brewing, and on July 3, the founder of TRVE Brewing announced his brewery was coming to an end as well.

"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," wrote Nick Nunns, the founder of TRVE, in a post on Facebook.

The business was founded in 2011 and opened an Asheville, North Carolina, location in March last year. Both are closing, and TRVE said in an Instagram comment that the last day for both locations will be Saturday, July 12.

Nunns described his launch of TRVE in 2011 as having a "mediocre business plan, no professional brewing experience and way less money than I needed." He said his goal all along was to serve good beer and listen to music he liked.

"I cannot have done any of this alone; my sincerest and deepest thanks to everyone who made their indelible marks on TRVE," Nunns wrote. "From the maniacs in the brewery to the masochists behind the bar, you were all such an immense part of why this place was what it was. I always wanted so much more for you all."

He also thanked the patrons who called TRVE home.

"Heavy Metal Cheers it certainly was. Y’all kept the lights on, hell or high water," Nunns wrote.

He finally thanked his wife for her help as the brewery encountered "crisis after crisis after crisis."

"I’m so sorry it was so hard for so long. I love you," Nunns wrote.

However, TRVE is not the only occupant of 227 Broadway, #101. It's also home to Music City Hot Chicken - Denver, and the company took to social media to talk about its future in the Mile High City.

"As their chapter in this space comes to a close, we want to be transparent with you. We are currently in conversation with the building owner about taking over the lease so that Music City Hot Chicken can continue operating here," MCHC wrote. "However we think it is best that we close next Saturday with the taproom for the time being while we get our ducks in a row."

The satellite restaurant tipped its hat to TRVE, saying it wouldn't have been possible without the brewery.

"TRVE gave us a home, believed in what we do, and created a space where our food and their beer could come together in a way that felt truly special. We owe them more than we can put into words," MCHC wrote.

The brewery founder said that despite its closure, TRVE provided him with "things that cannot be measured by capitalism," and said he is "rich beyond measure" from handshakes, high-fives and hugs.

"My mantra in making this decision has been and will continue to be 'No man is a failure who has friends,'" Nunns wrote.
