New England Breweries in Planning?

I will second Jesse on all his points. I've had Pond Jumper and really liked it, others I've had on tap were perfectly fine but nothing mindblowing. Bombers stink, and as much as I hate talking about logos, theirs is really busy, awful, and uninviting. It's a shame too because Flying Dreams is a sick name.

Def looking forward to the Marlborough location as I work nearby.

 

From the barrel has been a NH gem since they opened. Only growler I own at this point. Hoping they keep that low key quality. Owner is amazing, beer is great...hope they maintain profit without blowing up to a point I don't want to go. Sad they moved from 5 min from my house to 8.

 

I’ve been drinking them for a while too. Was always grabbing bombers of Elle, Lily, and Remedy at the Beer Store in Nashua. That Remedy is a fine porter. Wish I had easier access to more of the new stuff.

 

Are there any updates on Ground Effect Brewing in Hudson? Any updates on when they may be opening? I was by there a few weeks ago and there was someone walking around the brewing area, and I think working with some of the equipment.

 

13 actually.

 

We were always going to make an IPA - it was just never intended to be our focus. Honestly, Ifigured there was enough amazing IPA around where people wouldn't want us to do them as well - I was wrong!

Luckily I love IPAs so it works out.

 

According to Facebook, Backlash is soft opening their Boston taproom this weekend. Posted hours are Thurs-Sat 12-11pm and Sun 12-8pm. It's located at 152 Hampden St, not far from Dorchester Brewing.

 

Canned Heat Craft Beer Company in Fall River opens Oct. 5th. No idea what to expect but I'm happy to see stuff popping up in the area.

 

Must be a matter of days/weeks now until open of LineSider. From what I see on their facebook posts, beer is in the tanks...

Also, Apponaug Brewing in Warwick is now open and getting decent reviews, probably the space more than the beer but I'm taking my time until visiting when things are a little more dialed in.

 

Amory’s Tomb has finally opened in Maynard. Hope to swing by tomorrow at some point.

Dan Koppen's Linesider Brewing opens up in EG, RI today. I expect it to be pretty average but hope to be surprised and it's nice to have another option in the RI 'burbs.

 

Looks like a real nice interior job they did with the taproom if nothing else.

 

Stellwagen is no longer in planning , but they are killing it. They will most likely run out of beer soon as they are seemingly having trouble keeping with demand. Mod 7 and the Pilsner they have on tap currently are both ridiculously good

 

I stopped by in October and was thoroughly impressed of the hoppy beers (which made up 90% of the available beers). Along with the family-friendly taproom they won me over. Good stuff and will be fun to start at Untold, head to Stellwagen, then Vitamin Sea in a few months for a south shore mini tour.

 

Mod 7 is very good and BOYS DON'T CRYO is my favorite but the problem is, they can't keep up with demand and are running out of beers left and right - NOT GOOD. Taproom is clean and bright and dogs allowed outside only. Food trucks usually parked out front.

 

Don't forget Mighty Squirrel in Waltham, the taproom opens December 7th I'm told.

 

Early returns are promising, I saw someone I trust review that 6 of the 7 available beers were absolutely well made for the style including the German lager. In addition the taproom operation seemed to run smoothly despite the huge crowds. A lot of folks were there to take pictures with Koppen and his Super Bowl rings, after the football crowd dies down a little sounds like it will be a good hang.

So with East Greenwich now occupied you can go fully between Pawtucket and South Kingstown with at least one brewery in each city/town.

 

Really liking the profiles of the beers described in their site.

 

They are adding more tanks early 2019 I was told

 

Glad to hear that, excited to try it now. Drove past it today and it was busy enough to warrant a police detail on South County.
