Hello Growler Family,

7 years ago I had a dream to create a bicycle brand that brough people together. I wanted to build amazing bikes that represented the amazing people that tossed a leg over and enjoyed what cycling was really about. In those 7 years, we as a community came together and created one of the best cycling communities anyone could have asked for. What's the most amazing part was at one point we were growing so fast that we were one of the largest American made bicycle manufacturers in America. As everyone knows, the economy has been very difficult over the past three years. As a brand we were thriving until we weren't.

So with a heavy heart I have to announce that as of yesterday December 31, 2023 Growler Bikes, Growler LLC has officially stopped production and has closed its doors.

I want to thank the Brewhouse Bikes (46 Peaks Bikes) team for doing everything in their power to help Growler get back on its feet. The 46 Peaks Bikes Team and their bike are amazing and will continue to excel for many years to come. This is the next performance brand that will make a huge difference in the cycling industry.

I want to most importantly thank every single person who supported Growler Bikes over the years. It really was the community that made us special and allowed us to grow to the almost cult like status that we did. I appreciate each and every person who rode our bikes. I love and will miss all of you. I hope that one day I see you enjoying our bikes on the trails.

I would love to personally mention all those that helped me along the way but there are too many to add. Just know that each of you contributed to our success. I couldn't have done it without you.

Sincerely,
Wheels!

Great evening on the trail at Herriet Hollister Spencer State Park. The 150mm of travel on 46 Peaks Hustler just ate up the roots and big decent.

The GX AXS drivetrain was brilliant on the climbs. So very crisp.

Finished off the ride with a Juice Bomb IPA with good friends
