Burglars Steal Thousands from Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative in Minneapolis Over Christmas

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, a popular member-owned brewery in Minneapolis, is reeling after thieves broke into their taproom over the Christmas holiday and stole thousands of dollars. The incident occurred during what should have been a festive week, leaving the cooperative's staff and members devastated.

According to reports from Bring Me The News and CBS News, the burglars forced entry and made off with a substantial amount of cash. The brewery, which operates as a cooperative, has been navigating the challenging economic environment facing small craft breweries. "It's tough when you're already surviving," the cooperative's management shared in the wake of the theft, highlighting the impact of the loss on their thin operating margins.

The community has begun rallying around the brewery, offering support as police continue to investigate the break-in. Investigators are reviewing security footage and appealing to anyone with information about suspicious activity around the brewery over the holiday weekend to contact the Minneapolis Police Department.
