Less plastic! Have you noticed new four-pack packaging at your favorite beer retailer yet? Well, keep your eyes peeled. In an effort to reduce its footprint on the environment, NoDa Brewing Company is converting from recyclable plastic can holders to cartons for the majority of its packaged brews. The boxes are recyclable and more earth friendly. Cheers to Mother Nature…

…and cheers to FREE brewery tours! After (more than) a year-long pause due to COVID-19, brewery tours are back at the North End taproom, Saturdays at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. You’ll see where the magic happens and be guided through the brewing process. No reservations required! Simply show up – in time to grab a drink from the bar to make it even more enjoyable of course – and wait for the tour guide to make the announcement.

The taproom is overflowing with beer, fun, and good causes this month!
