Craft Beer Merger: Aeronaut & Dorchester Unite Forces

Something’s Brewing in the Craft Beer World!

Gather ’round beer aficionados, homebrewers, and casual sippers alike, because do I have an exciting frothy tale for you! Who needs the Marvel Cinematic Universe when you can witness the epic alliance in the craft beer cosmos? Straight from the hops vine of news, Somerville-based Aeronaut Brewing Company and brewery-ops-craft-beer-job-listing-on-brewbound-com/” title=”Dorchester Brewing Co. Seeks Director of Brewery Ops – Craft Beer Job Listing on Brewbound.com”>Dorchester Brewing Company, two titans of taste, have announced they are hitching their kegs together in a monumental craft beer merger. That’s right, folks—our beeriverse is about to expand, and I’m not talking about waistlines (although, let’s be real, who can resist another pint?).

What’s on Tap for the Tasty Liquid Alliance?

These purveyors of the pint are joining forces under a new parent entity that goes by the name of—you guessed it—the Tasty Liquid Alliance. It’s a coalition that seems like it was brewed in the stars, aiming to pump up their brewery biceps to better flex in the ever-competitive craft beer gym.

Before we pop the cap on the celebratory keg, let’s clarify one thing – the two houses of beer, Aeronaut and Dorchester, won’t be mixing their malt, so to speak. They’ll keep on crafting their unique suds separately, but they’ll be pooling their secret ingredients—resources and expertise, that is—to shake things up in the craft beer universe.

A Match Made in Beer Heaven

It’s like the plot of a feel-good movie, except imagine the main characters are breweries instead of quirky high school sweethearts, and instead of falling in love, they are planning world domination with hops and barley. Aeronaut, a star in the craft scene known for its innovative brews and a community-driven ethos, is teaming up with Dorchester Brewing, which has built a solid reputation in the New England and Tri-State area. Both are shining examples of what happens when you mix passion with yeast.

No Interruption to Your Regularly Scheduled Beer

For those concerned this might affect their favorite brews—fear not! Both breweries aim to keep their services tapping along as usual, which means no sad faces at the taps or dry spells in production.

The mind behind Dorchester Brewing, Matthew Malloy, wise in the ways of ales and lagers and future CEO of this beer bundle, shared his frothy foresight: “We’re all about that beer-bonding life and can’t wait to see where this fizzy future will take us. Diversity, experimentation, and an open culture are the yeast that will make our batch rise.”

Ronn Friedlander of Aeronaut chimed in, fiddling with his beer goggles, “Imagine a sudsy synergy, where we clink our glasses to community and innovation. We’ll be brewing up good vibes and even better beers, while still giving back to the local spots that fill our steins.”

Mergers and Ales: What Happens Now?

Now, don’t cry into your craft beer—change is good! Aeronaut’s brewing bravado will soon cozy up with Dorchester’s high-tech hop haven. This dynamic duet will wave goodbye to Aeronaut’s Everett production site as the duo dips into Dorchester’s digs with fervor. Savings, efficiencies, and a treasure trove of brewing innovation await!

A little birdie—or shall I say, beer-birdie—whispered that Aeronaut’s frontline fermenters from the Everett team will embark on a migration to the Dorchester facility. Rest assured, Aeronaut’s Somerville spot will remain a bastion for small-batch brilliance, like a fortress for fermentation, and the Everett Cannery taproom swings its doors open into the blissful beer future of 2024.

Get to Know Aeronaut and Dorchester

Now, if these names are making you scratch your noggin, allow me to pour a pint of knowledge. Aeronaut Brewing Company soared into the craft beer scene in 2014 with its scientific spin on sipping. From their Somerville hub, they’ve served up not just beers, but buzzworthy events aplenty, truly embodying the term ‘gathering place.’

And, not to be out-hopped, Dorchester Brewing Company popped onto the scene in 2016 with a setup that’s more than just foam and games (I mean, they have a rooftop greenhouse, folks!). Hosting fellow brewing pals and boosting local beer production is their mug of mead.

Creativity, community, and an undying love for a well-crafted pint are at the heart of what these breweries do. Together, they’re set to raise the bar (and the beer glasses) higher than ever before. Because when it comes to beer, stronger together isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a recipe for success!
