Description

Since before Patriots like Paul Revere and Sam Adams fermented a revolution in smoky Beantown taverns, beer has been integral to the history of Boston. Town issued its first brewing license in 1630, and breweries like Haffenreffer Brewery and American Brewing Company quickly sprung up. This heady history took a turn for the more severe when the American Temperance Movement championed prohibition, nearly wiping out the entire local breweries. In 1984, the amber liquid used to be revitalized as Jim Koch introduced Samuel Adams craft brews to the Hub and the nation. In a while after, Harpoon Brewery emerged and become the biggest brewery to make all its beers in New England. From the planning of the Boston Tea Party over a pint at Green Dragon Tavern to the renaissance of the burgeoning craft brewing scene, sign up for writer and “Beer Nut” Norman Miller as he savors the sudsy history of brewing within the Hub.
