Two popular local breweries, Aeronaut Brewing Company Tyler Street Somerville Ma and Dorchester Brewing Company, have announced a merger, creating excitement within the Boston craft beer community. This partnership, initially revealed through social media posts in the Friends of Boston’s Hidden Restaurants Facebook group and on Aeronaut’s Instagram, signals a significant development in the regional beer scene.
According to Aeronaut Brewing’s official Instagram announcement, this merger unites “two likeminded local brands with similar missions to create the highest-quality craft beer while positively impacting our communities.” The aim is to foster “a new era of innovation” while reassuring customers that the beers they love from both brands will continue to be brewed and enjoyed. Both Dorchester Brewing Company (DBC) and Aeronaut will maintain their individual brand identities and operate independently, now under a unified parent company. For fans of Aeronaut Brewing Company Tyler Street Somerville MA, this means continued access to their favorite brews at existing taprooms and throughout the local distribution network.
The operational changes will primarily involve shifting Aeronaut’s large-scale beer production to Dorchester Brewing Company’s facility. Aeronaut Brewing Company Tyler Street Somerville MA will retain its Somerville location for brewing small-batch beers specifically for its taprooms. The Everett Cannery taproom is also slated to remain open into 2024, ensuring the continued availability of Aeronaut beers across multiple locations. This strategic consolidation is expected to enhance efficiency and allow both breweries to further refine their offerings.
Dorchester Brewing Company, established in 2016 on Massachusetts Avenue, and Aeronaut Brewing Company Tyler Street Somerville MA, which first opened its doors on Tyler Street in Somerville in 2014, have both become integral parts of the Boston brewery landscape. Aeronaut expanded its footprint with the Everett Cannery in 2020. With websites at dorchesterbrewing.com and aeronautbrewing.com respectively, both breweries have cultivated strong local followings. This merger represents a significant step forward for both brands, promising exciting developments for craft beer enthusiasts in and around Boston.
