Big news just out -- the Cambridge Brewing Company brand has been acquired by Castle Island Brewing Co. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2024/12/cambridge-brewing-company-has-been.html

Last week I was invited to the soft opening of The Abbey, the new taproom located at the new #MonklessBelgianAles brewing facility, which the company moved into earlier this spring. The Abbey occupies a remodeled space previously used for storage, and if you’re familiar with The Brasserie (the restaurant and pub location), you can expect a similar décor and sensibility to the interior design.

News -- Article Fifteen Brewing Co. in Rockland is closing. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2024/01/article-fifteen-brewing-co-in-rockland.html

#Mastodon #beer question of the day - news preferences. We've been reviewing our year of reporting and are pondering a change.
As we've learned through discussions with regional businesses, there are writers who prefer a handful of #breweries over reporting on all of them.
As we've noticed a precipitous decline in #article or #story pitches from businesses, we are fast looking to reform our coverage. More to the point, between being more offensive and going after businesses or focusing on those that we like.
Thoughts?
