The Dahlonega, Ga., distillery announced the closing on its Facebook page:
“Z. Brown Distillery would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Lumpkin County as well as the city of Dahlonega, GA for being a welcoming and supportive community. To all of our patrons, visitors, friends and neighbors we’ve met here, we extend a bitter sweet “see you later” as we close the doors on Nov. 18th. Although the Distillery is closing down, we as Southern Ground are excited to see you again just down the road at our restaurant, Zac Brown’s Social Club, in the newly renovated State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta. THANK YOU.”
