    Flying Dreams in the old spot where Wormtown was, just brewed its first batch of beer on the 13th of October. Looking forward to seeing what they do out of there.

    I am guessing that Barnstable Brewing in Hyannis is not going to happen. They have been silent since April 2014.

    I didn't know about Honest Weight. I didn't even know Jay Sullivan was no longer at CBC. I guess I haven't been paying attention. Looking forward to heading out there.

    I drank their first test batch of Branch Bridge Pale Ale the other night. Real nice beer. Juicy as all get out. Their saison is real nice as well.

    Here's an under-the-radar addition: Black Hat Brew Works

    They'll be opening in Bridgewater, MA on Black Friday.

    Brick and Feather has opened in Turner's Falls. Anyone had their stuff? The early reviews have been quite good.

    Brick and Feather has great stuff. Their Pale Ale is top notch. The owner/brewer Lawrence is a super cool guy. Has great experience behind him: Cambridge Brewing, Russian River, Flying Fish, and Berkshire. I highly recommend them.

    There's an old line about how not that many people heard the Velvet Underground but everyone who did started their own band. It feels like you could say the same thing about people who've brewed at CBC.

    Brick and Feather's beers have been AWESOME, particularly their First Step French table beer. The Positively 11th St Pale shows lots of promise and he's varying the hops in each batch I believe!

    Not a new brewery, but across town, Element just moved in to a new bigger space a few doors down and their latest post on social media involves Dark Element on nitro (!!!!!). Full pours these days at their taproom too.

    Also Honest Weight in Orange MA will be opening their tasting room on Sat 11/27.

    High time for a Franklin County beer tour, 7 breweries for 75,000 people! Come support our tenuous economy please.

    I am aware of a new brewery in Massachusetts that I won't tell anyone about yet. But it will likely be ready to brew by this summer... (that's with a slight buffer for TTB and ABCC process)

    can't wait to share the news when the time is right.

    and to the point, Honest Weight's beers were tasting so great last week and so are Lawrence's beers at Brick and Feather. Both breweries are ones to drink for sure.

    A few nanos in MA that seem to have snuck open when no one was looking:

    Tenth District - Abington
    CraftRoots - Milford
    Old Planters - Beverly

    I used to drive by 10th district all the time last year, when I was at my old job. Always wanted to stop in but they were just finishing the last details before their launch. Cool spot and nice building. Hopefully they are doing well.

    Don't think its been mentioned here, but I know Merrimack Ales in Lowell is open now. Limited hours, but they are also distributing a little - I saw some of their beers at Craft Beer Cellar - Westford.
