12welve Eyes Brewing (141 E. Fourth St., St. Paul) in downtown St. Paul has closed.

The brewery posted a simple “R.Eye.P” on its Instagram page, stating that it had opened on July 28, 2017 and closed June 1, 2019.

Named after its three bespectacled young owners, the brewery was focused on experimental beers and didn’t distribute much outside of the taproom.

Patrons liked the fact that there was always something new on tap, and the brewery had recently been experimenting with more free events like comedy and trivia.

Co-owner Elliot Grosse confirmed the closure via email, simply stating, “We had to close.”

12welve Eyes is the second downtown brewery to close in the past year. Great Waters Brewing, which was a brewpub, so technically a different business model, shuttered in November.
