Copper Mine Brewing Company first opened its taproom at 3455 S. Palo Verde Rd. in 2017. At the time, the local beer scene was bubbling over with local breweries and Copper Mine was a great addition to the scene.
However, on Monday, September 16, the brew crew announced that they’re permanently closing on Saturday, September 21.
“The time has come, we at Copper Mine are sad to announce that we will be closing our doors,” the team shared. “We thank all of you and the craft beer community for the last seven-and-a-half years, we’ve truly enjoyed it.”
The plan is to remain open until the end of the day on Saturday, September 21 “or until the beer runs out — whichever is first.”
“Please come grab your last Copper Mine Beer and help say good bye!”
Copper Mine Brewing was founded in 2016 (taproom officially opened in 2017) by Jeff Kaber and Jeremy Pye. Kaber started brewing nearly a decade before opening Copper Mine and met with Pye a few years later at a local home-brewing session. Their hangouts quickly became business-planning sessions — Copper Mine Brewing was born.
Stop in before Saturday, September 21 to sip on a cold one and show some love for a local business.
Copper Mine Brewing Company is located at 3455 S. Palo Verde Rd. For more information, visit copperminebrewing.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
