South Everett brewery, set to close, finds lifeline in new owners

EVERETT — Crucible Brewing, set to close at the end of the year, will be closing no more.

The south Everett craft brewery’s owners, Dick Mergens and Shawn Dowling, announced in August that unless new owners purchased the location, the brewery would close.

It was perfect timing for Erik Andresen and his wife, Johanna Watson-Andresen, to step up and take over.

“We’re honestly just very relieved,” Mergens said. “It wasn’t necessarily something Shawn and I wanted to do, as far as closing goes, but we’re very happy we’ve found someone passionate about the industry, business-minded, and intelligent. I feel like we’re leaving it in good hands.”
