🗓️ June 13: Last Call at Metric

Another local business is closing their doors. Metric Brewing has announced it will close permanently on June 13 after seven years in business on North Circle Dr. While the details haven’t been officially confirmed, one comment on social media suggested the landlord may be ending the lease to bring in someone new.

The brewery called the closure unexpected and shared gratitude for the community’s support. Locals are invited to visit before the final day to enjoy a beer and say farewell to a neighborhood favorite.

🚵‍♀️ A Popular Park Road Just Shut Down

North Cheyenne Cañon Park is temporarily closed to vehicles after road damage was discovered near North Cheyenne Canyon Road. The closure extends from the Starsmore Visitor and Nature Center up to Gold Camp Road, just north of the Chutes and Ladders trailhead.

While pedestrian and bicycle access is still allowed, drivers are asked to avoid the area while Public Works determines next steps for repairs. Updates will follow as the situation evolves.
