In a surprising turn of events, Brockton's first brewpub (a combination brewery and restaurant), Brockton Beer Company, announced that they would not be closing their doors after all. This news comes as a relief to the local community who had been preparing to bid farewell to the beloved brewpub.

Earlier this month, Brockton Beer Company had shared a heartfelt message with their patrons, explaining that due to their current revenue not covering their current and ongoing expenses, they would be closing their taproom on Saturday, September 24, 2024. The announcement was met with concern from the community, with many expressing their sadness with the loss of such a valued establishment in downtown Brockton.

However, in an unexpected twist, the brewpub revealed on the very day they were set to close that they would, in fact, remain open. The reason for this dramatic reversal? A last-minute “boost in capital” has breathed new life into the business. Brockton Beer Company explained, "Thanks to a last-minute boost in capital, we’re pushing forward with new plans to serve you better, with change in operations, more consistency and the same high-quality craft beer you love."

Brockton Beer Company expressed its gratitude to the community for their overwhelming support, stating, "A huge thank you to everyone for the incredible support over the past few weeks—it means everything to us!" They then told their community to stay tuned for future updates and invited everyone to come in to celebrate. The announcement ended on a positive note: "Cheers to the future!"

"Founded in 2018, Brockton Beer Company has been more than just a brewpub—it has been a vibrant part of downtown Brockton. Since brewing our signature beers in 2021 and opening our taproom in 2022, we have had the privilege of serving thousands of guests in and out of the greater Brockton area. Our beers have been distributed and served throughout Massachusetts and New York, and we are proud to have collaborated with many outstanding breweries. Throughout our time, we have worked tirelessly to create a space that not only offered diverse food and drinks, but also an excellent guest experience that fostered a strong sense of community." - Brockton Beer Company
