A decades-old brewery known in part for its brewpub and its focus on the local community is shutting down its taproom.
According to its social media, Cambridge Brewing Company in Kendall Square is going to be closing its doors, with a Facebook post from the place saying the following:
To our dear CBC friends and family, our time is coming to a close. Our last day of service will be Dec. 20th. But what a time it has been!....A heartfelt thank you to all who have participated in our dream. To our customers that have joined us time and again over the years, your support and friendship enabled our success. To all that are working or have worked here, you guys are what made this place so great. What an honor and a joy it has been to work alongside you!....35 years, one hell of a run. Much love, Team CBC
Cambridge Brewing Company debuted in 1989, bringing to the local area a concept that was unique at the time--a place that paired freshly-brewed beers with food items using locally-sourced ingredients--while also being the first commercial brewery in the United States to produce a Belgian-style beer.
The address for Cambridge Brewing Company is 1 Kendall Square (Building 100), Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at https://www.cambridgebrewingcompany.com/
[December 20 update: The Cambridge Brewing Company taproom indeed closes after business hours today, but as mentioned in a new article, the CBC brand has been purchased by Castle Island Brewing Co., so at least some of their beers will live on.]
