Dorchester Brewing Company recently announced on Instagram its hibernation plans. The brewery and taproom as well as its onsite restaurant, M&M BBQ will be remain closed for indoor dining and drinking until March 1, though it remains open for takeout and delivery.
“It’s with sadness and hope that we have made the proactive decision to close the tap room and restaurant for on-site consumption for eating and drinking starting on January 1st through March 1st,” reads the post. “Based on what we have seen over the last few weeks, we have to do our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep our staff, community, and customers safe. We hope this encourages others to do the same including the city and state, who should frankly just shut restaurants down at this point. Small businesse
After closing early for the season in November, Cape Ann Brewing has made the decision to permanently shutter its Gloucester brewpub.
In a farewell message laced with sailing references, owner and founder Jeremy Goldberg said goodbye to his 18-year-old company.
“It is with much sadness that I announce the permanent closure of the Cape Ann Brewing Company,” Goldberg wrote Monday. “During the summer of 2002, a casual conversation spawned the perhaps ill-thought idea of what would become the Cape Ann Brewing Company. Since that day, we strove to create a brand and a place that would represent ‘the courage and spirit of the North Atlantic Fishing Fleet.’ We are proud of what we’ve created over the past 18 years. During this time we’ve weathered many storms, at times enjoyed smooth seas, and have always been thankful for the stong headwinds that have guided our voyage. Unfortunately, the current climate has proven to be our last sail. (Is that enough sailing cliches?)
