A brewery and taproom that moved to a new location earlier this year has shut down.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Burke's Alewerks in West Newton is no longer in business, with a Facebook post from the place saying the following:
It is with regret and sadness that I announce the end of Burke's Alewerks. We poured our last pint this past week. I am forever grateful for all the support, laughter, music, and friendship that we all shared together. If you walked through our doors and shared a pint with us, we are grateful. There are so many wonderful memories and experiences and it was a truly worthwhile and most excellent journey! Slainte
No reason has been given for its closure, nor is it known if owner Brian Burke has any future plans for brewing.
Burke's Alewerks moved into West Newton in January, taking over the space on Washington Street where a location of The Local had been. Previously, the brewery had been located in Hanover.
The address for the now-closed location of Burke's Alewerks in West Newton was 1391 Washington Street, West Newton, MA, 02465.
