Brockton Beer Company Plans to Open a Taproom

A brewer south of Boston is looking to open its very own taproom, and is currently seeking people to invest in the project.

According to a page within the Mainvest website, Brockton Beer Company is planning to open a "community-focused" taproom at an as-of-yet undisclosed location, with the page mentioning that "Founder and CEO, Pierre Alexandre, has worked with his team to bring Brockton Beer Company from idea, to distribution, to brick and mortar, working to give Brockton the community gathering place it deserves." A check on the company's website shows that it redirects to a Mailchimp page that states that "We are excited to announce that we have projects in the works.  Its been a long couple of months and we have missed you all.  Please be on lookout for some exciting things coming your way." An earlier Enterprise article had mentioned that Brockton Beer Company had been looking to open in a long-vacant commercial building on Frederick Douglass Avenue in the downtown area of Brockton but those plans fell through due to high renovation costs. (The article mentions that the brewery was hoping to find another location downtown, while we have been told by the brewery that their hope is to find a space that has room for both a taproom and a brewing area.)

Currently, Brockton Beer Company collaborates with other breweries to produce its beers, with a majority of it being brewed at Article Fifteen in Weymouth; its beers can be found at the breweries it works with and at special events in Brockton. (Its website is at https://www.brocktonbeer.com/)

[May 27, 2022 update: A Facebook post from the business indicates that Brockton Beer Company will open its doors at 121 Main Street on Thursday, June 2.]
