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!

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.

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.

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!
