🕯FUNERAL OF YOUR MIND | DOUBLE HAZY INDA PALE ALE 🕯
Our newest Hazy DIPA, FUNERAL OF YOUR MIND, is densely saturated, with notes of fresh cut pineapple, sticky mango, peach and a bit of strawberry candy. A love letter to one of our favorite hops.
Brewed with 2-Row and flaked oats and hopped with all the Simcoe... like all the Simcoe... we hit this heer with Simcoe pellets, Simcoe Cryo, Simcoe Hyperboost and Quantum Simcoe to further explore the depth of this classic hop.
🕯 Available now | 🕯
📢 2026 BEER GARDEN SEASON 📢
OPENING FRIDAY MAY 15 AT 4 PM | 18 BEALE STREET QUINCY
For years the lot at the former Wollaston Theater sat vacant. In just 1 month we transformed this vacant lot into what will be the South Shore's premier outdoor beer garden. Fire Pits, a bandstand for live music, ample seating on tables and Adirondacks, and games. Some on site parking, street parking, and just blocks from the Wollaston MBTA parking lot.
Food by @cielobraintree daily as well as rotating food trucks | Beer, Wine, & Seltzer by @widowmakerbrew | Follow @wollastongardens for daily updates and happenings.

⚡️ ⚡️LIGHTNING FROM THE GRAVE | HAZY PALE ALE ⚡️ ⚡️
⚡️ Brewed in collaboration with @coven.brewing ⚡️
Not only is this low abv hazy pale packed with massive flavors it was also brewed in collaboration with one of our favorite buds in the world.
We were so happy to welcome Coven's Head Brewer Brady Heefner to join us for a brew day a few weeks back.
Brady brewed at Widowmaker for 3 years before heading to Pittsburgh to bless the Western PA region with his delicious beers... Brady is a Weirdomaker for life and we love when he visits and we are just so proud of him... we are also happy to report he still makes a damn fine beer and LIGHTNING FROM THE GRAVE is a perfect testament to that statement.
Hopped with the classic combination of Citra & Mosaic, at an extremely crushable 5% this beer is providing massive notes and flavors of melon & citrus. A perfect low abv to enjoy as the nights get longer.

We get the reputation of being "doomy and gloomy" but its quite the opposite. This past week was a powerful testament to the community we continue to build together.
⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
We declare with ferocity that "beer is not doomed" and this past Monday we proved that to be true with a line of people trying to get into @doom.bar wrapped around the block while inside we celebrated with beer brewed by friends breweries from around the country.

We open our doors to musicians, artists & entertainers, we welcome them with sold out rooms filled with music & wrestling lovers alike who have built a community supporting our shows and performers.

Boston - we’ve got your back!
Our friends Generation Records, NYC made a very special limited edition version of England Belongs to Me for our appearance in New York last month. Only 500 of these were pressed.
We took 100 copies to bring to Boston for those of you that didn’t make it down to the show so you guys get a chance to get you hands on one.
These are on blue vinyl, with foil stamped sleeves.
We have an exclusive bundle that will be available at our meet and greet today at the Widowmaker taproom 2pm-5pm
You get the single, a (new!) England Belongs To Me tote bag, a patch and a limited edition print. If you’re into your hockey and your local, take a look! If you know you know! We’ve signed all of these. Whatever is left, we will bring to the show tomorrow, but once they have gone, they are gone! This record won’t be repressed. There’s already a few on Discogs at crazy money with people trying to flip them. So this is the last chance for you to get one before prices inevitably go even higher!
Thanks to @hitsfromthepit for the photo.
See ya later!
