Craft Beer Cellar and Trinktisch Restaurant in Belmont Are Up for Sale

The flagship location of a group of specialty beer shops and its sibling beer hall are both being put on the market.

According to a source (Mark Gurwell), Craft Beer Cellar and Trinktisch Restaurant on Leonard Street in Belmont Center are for sale, with a note on the website of Craft Beer Cellar saying the following:

We have had the time of our lives being your local beer & wine store, and now your beer hall & gathering place. But, we feel that the time has come for us to get back to ourselves, each other, and to look towards building on our experiences to further explore excellence in hospitality, in the retail and restaurant segment (Craft Beer Cellar Co), and beer industry education, in a new light....After 13 years of selling and supporting amazing beer, making treasured friends, and proudly watching some of our employees go on to become change-makers in this industry, it feels like the right time.

The note mentions that Craft Beer Cellar and Trinktisch will likely be sold separately, and it sounds like the beer shop would apparently remain part of the franchise operation; it also appears that the plan may be for Trinktisch to remain in operation under that brand, as the beer hall's website says that "We look forward to assisting the new owner(s) in obtaining all the information they need to run Trinktisch, not just successfully, but better, in it’s new chapter."

The Belmont location of Craft Beer Cellar moved from its original location just up the street to its current space in 2020, while Trinktisch debuted the following year.

NOTE: We need your help, as Leslie Hurwitz, who is the father of Marc (the founder of this site) is dealing with health issues and some major related expenses. Please donate at https://gofund.me/76d8ba28, thanks!
