Neighborhood Beer Series

OCTOBER 17 2024

Art: Quincy Center
Style: New England IPA, 8.1%

We are introducing Quincy Center, the latest gem in our Quincy Neighborhood Tours Series! This New England IPA packs a punch at 8.1% ABV, yet it’s as easy-drinking as they come. Brewed with 2-row & Pilsner malts, Oat Malt, and Flaked Oats, it pours a beautiful hazy gold with a light, fleeting foam.

Expect an explosion of tropical aromas—think sweet pineapple and overripe mango—followed by refreshing tangerine and lime on the palate. With a hint of sweetness and a citrus snap, this beer is perfect for those sunny days.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Quincy Historical Society. Available now in our taproom and at a store near you!

JULY 18 2024

Art: West Quincy
Style: Pale Ale 4.5% ABV

A history etched in stone – that is West Quincy. To honor this proud Quincy neighborhood, we brewed a beauty of a pale ale. Approachable at 4.5%. Light body. Belma and Elani hops contribute notes of: lemon zest, pineapple, strawberry and white peach. Think White Sangria with a lemon wedge! A portion of proceeds to benefit QCAP (Quincy Community Action Programs) to help in their battle to help struggling families achieve financial stability.

MAY 16 2024

Art: Montclair
Style: Bohemian Pilsner 5.6% ABV

Light, crisp, and refreshing with a hop-forward profile. This beer celebrates the neighborhood of Montclair! A portion of proceeds benefit a local non-profit, the Patrick F. Tevenan Memorial Fund.

FEBRUARY 7 2024

Art: North Quincy
Style: Copper Ale 5.2% ABV

We’re heading “Up the Downs” to celebrate North Quincy with our latest neighborhood beer brewed in partnership with Quincy Is Everything! From the shores of the mighty Neponset and along the well-worn tracks of the Red Line, North Quincy has grown from marshland to military training grounds to now, a hub of activity, cultural melting pot, and home to a criminally underrated food scene. This Copper Ale pours a very pretty copper & marmalade color. It presents a balanced profile – slightly malt-forward paired with earthy hops and rounded bitterness. You might catch enjoyable notes of raisins and sweet bread on the nose. This beer would be great for many different food pairings. A portion of proceeds benefit a local non-profit, the Quincy City Club.

DECEMBER 7 2023

Art: Quincy Point
Style: Lager 5% ABV

We took our latest release down to the “Shipyahd” to explore and appreciate the role Quincy Point played in the history of Quincy and our country.

From 1941-1945, Fore River Shipyard and its 32,000 employees built 92 naval vessels of 11 different types; the most notable types being the battleship, carrier, heavy and light cruisers, and destroyers for which the yard has been known. Quincy Point was home to many of these hard-nosed employees. The numbers don’t lie, these folks were #QuincyBuilt and got $#*@ done every day from punch-in until they heard that steam whistle blow.

After work, they would hit the bars across the street to enjoy a cold lager much like this brew. One publican still in business today told us the workers’ wives would stand in line at the administration office on payday and wisely intercept the weekly paycheck before their husbands could overindulge after work!

This lager, made in partnership would Quincy Is Everything, is a crisp Pre-Prohibition style lager checking in at 5% ABV. It’s traditionally made – featuring Sladovny Soufflet Czech Pilsen malt, 6-row malt, and corn in the grain bill. It’s hopped with magnum and cluster hops and achieves a perfect balance. Pours a deep golden with a nice frothy white head that chases the beer down the glass. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Quincy Point’s Archie Wahlberg Scholarship Foundation, which provides college scholarships to local kids!

Raise a glass to Quincy Point, and the people who made it great. Cheers!

Charity: A portion of the proceeds will benefit Archie Wahlberg Scholarship Foundation.

OCTOBER 25 2023

Art: Wollaston
Style: Rice Lager 5.2% ABV

Our latest release in partnership with Quincy Is EVERYTHING (QIE), this lager pours golden and has a super light, refreshing body. Why is it called a Rice Lager? We used rice in the brewing process which helps provide that clean and crisp body we were looking for here. We also utilized sake yeast in fermentation, resulting in some beautiful but not overpowering lemon and fruit notes.

The QIE beer series aims to develop a beer and label for each unique neighborhood of the Granite City, while raising funds for local charities. This label features the late, great Wollaston Theater which served as the gathering place and heart of Wollaston for decades. Cheers to the incomparable Kerry MacHugh Design for bringing yet another beautiful label to life!

Charity: A portion of the proceeds will benefit Quincy After School Child Care, Inc. (QCARE). QCARE’s carefully crafted programs provide a safe and enjoyable setting for school-aged children to build friendships, play games and sports, work on homework, and engage in a variety of creative projects and enriching activities.

We’ll also be holding a fundraiser in the taproom with Qcare on 11/30 – mark your calendars! Visit www.quincyafterschool.org to learn more about their great work!

Charity: Portion of the proceeds to benefit Quincy Youth Hockey in memory of native sons Tommy Roberts and Jonathan Brosnan.

An easy, breezy, smooth beer. But it parties hard in true Merrymount Fashion. Merrymount has been living life to its fullest since 1627 beginning with some inter squad ragers up on Maypole Hill as depicted in the can art!

This approachable blonde ale checks in at 5% ABV. It pours straw in color and tastes clean with a hint of biscuit or fresh baked bread. It will pair well with just about any food.

O’Driscoll Memorial Fund is to benefit North Quincy High School graduates pursuing service in the United States military as well as graduates continuing their education who have experienced the loss of a parent or guardian.
Jonathan graduated NQHS in 2004. He then served honorably in the United States Marine Corps with a tour in Afghanistan. After serving his country, Jonathan married the love of his life, Alyson, and landed his dream job with the Quincy Fire Department! Jonathan’s greatest joy in life was being a father to his son, Nolan.
Jonathan suddenly passed in 2019 and the memorial fund was established to not only honor his memory but give back to those with similar pursuits as Jonathan and those who have endured the heartbreaking loss of a parent or guardian.
