S
hovel Town Brewery was
established in 2015 and
commenced operations in
2017. The brewery is located in
North Easton, MA in a building that
was once part of the town's rich
shovel manufacturing history. Shovel
Town Brewery offers a variety of
local, fresh, high-quality craft beer
brewed right within their facility for
distribution and featured in their
nicely appointed Taproom and
Biergarten. In addition to brewing
the best craft beer possible, the
goal is for Shovel Town Brewery to
be a unique neighborhood gathering
place where visitors can relax and
socialize in an environment of fresh,
artisanal beers, food, and good
times. In the spring of 2020, utilizing
an industrial area of the building,
they completed the third upgrade
to their manufacturing process
by increasing the size and output
of their brewhouse and including
more automation. This increase in
capacity allows Shovel Town Brewery
to continue to build its brand and
broaden its reach through self-
distribution and one distribution
partner to over 275 locations within
Massachusetts.
