Update: Brockton Beer Company Will Remain Open

[Ed note: This article was updated on October 10 to reflect the fact that the brewery is not closing after all.]

In early September, it looked like a brewery south of Boston was going to be shutting its doors, but now it looks like it will remain in operation.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Brockton Beer Company remains open and will continue to be in operation, with an Instagram post for the Main Street business mentioning changes in management and its kitchen are taking place while also saying that a new GM will be brought onboard and there will be extended days of operation. (The post also says that the beers will not change.)

An earlier Facebook post from September 6 had said the following:

With heavy hearts, we're announcing the closure of our Downtown Brockton taproom on Saturday, September 28th. Despite our best efforts, we've made the tough decision to close our doors. We are beyond grateful for the incredible support from our community, our dedicated team, and all our amazing guests who made this journey since 2018 unforgettable. Join us for our final days and raise a glass to the good times we've shared, and feel free to share any memories or highlights you had with us.

The website for the business had also said at the time that "our current revenue this year has fallen short of projections that do not cover our current and ongoing expenses," while mentioning that customers should use their gift cards before their final day, and they also say there are currently no plans to reopen the brewery or transfer ownership.

The address for Brockton Beer Company is 121 Main Street, Brockton, MA, 02301. Its website can be found at https://www.brocktonbeer.com/

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.]
