roses' taproom to close

update: the roses' team has opted to host one last farewell gathering tonight, november 29, before final closure.

such a loss for temescal and oakland – the chronicle first reported the sad news that roses' taproom will permanently close after service this sunday.

opened in 2017, the small-scale brewery, craft beer, cider and wine bar was prettier and more peaceful than the average east bay taproom, with big windows, blush-colored walls and a focus on plants, art and ceramics.

a kind tipster shared photos of the paper note posted friday; the news was also announced on instagram.

a website post announcing the end of their brewing operations might have belied the eventual closure.

roses' taproom is at 4930 telegraph avenue in oakland, and will permanently close on november 17.
