Break Rock Brewing
Break Rock Brewing opened to the public on March 3, 2022, becoming Quincy’s only craft brewery and taproom, and one of only a handful of oceanfront breweries in Massachusetts. With accordion windows, a glass storefront and a patio, the brewery has stunning views of the water and surrounding area. People enjoy the location, the beers and seltzers. The taproom is always active with special events, pop-up vendors, live music, and more. They have some great events planned for the fall and winter and are excited to ramp up the Community Cornerstones initiative that provides the space for free to registered nonprofits in an effort to utilize the taproom as a force for positive change and good works. breakrockbrewing.com

Brewery 44
While Brewery 44 in Carver was established in 2020, they officially opened their taproom doors on Memorial Day of 2021 and have been going strong ever since. The beer garden and food trucks at the new location have been a huge hit on Fridays and Saturdays and guests can enjoy the “Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day” celebration on Sept. 16 and 17, which will include Irish food, music and more! The team has also been busy hosting fundraisers for local charities, and now offer their event space for rent. So look no further for a place to host that special gathering.
Split Rock Beer Garden
Opening Soon! Split Rock is an outdoor seasonal raw bar and beer garden located in the heart of downtown Cohasset. Their new, custom container bar, which will include three restrooms, a 14-draft beer wall, and a full raw bar setup, has been hit with supply chain delays. But they've moved forward to get the lot ready and say it's coming along well. They're looking to be serving customers this fall season (did someone say Oktoberfest?) and will have some limited hours during the holidays this year. A full season is expected next year starting mid-April. splitrockcohasset.com
Dirty Water Distillery
A new location is in the works for Dirty Water Distillery (along with its sister project, Llama Nama Beer Labs), which closed its original taproom on July 10 and immediately began moving equipment to a Cordage Park location in North Plymouth. The team will be working on the build of their new production and taproom space for as long as it takes. While they can’t currently estimate an opening date, they’re very excited to share that their new distillery/brewery will include a parking lot, a larger seating capacity (including outdoor space), a larger bar, and hopefully even some local touches to keep the historic Cordage Company theme intact. Stay tuned! dirtywaterdistillery.com

Brockton Beer Company
In June, Brockton Beer Company opened a new taproom at 121 Main Street, Brockton.

Thanks to its onsite kitchen, Brockton Beer Company is heating up the Brockton food and drink scene. Signature brews include Frederick and Main (a light lager) and Ticket to Vibe (a New England-style IPA). Both are currently in distribution throughout the South Shore, Cape and Islands, and Western Massachusetts at stores and select restaurants. brocktonbeer.com
