Our Crew

The heart of our business

We’re a highly specialized crew, built of expert lab technicians, round-the-clock brewers, and bartenders who pour the perfect pint every time. These talented individuals support us in our mission to do what we do best: brew lagers. And of course, make delicious pizzas at the Jack’s Abby Beer Hall & Kitchen. Our team is at the heart of our business, and the reason why our beer tastes so great. Prost!

Our History

2011
Jack’s Abby Brewing Opens

The brewery opened in a 6,000 square foot warehouse on the south side of Framingham; the first lager-only craft brewery in the country.

2012 – 2015
Rapid Growth

While it started small, the brewery doubled in size each year from 2012 to 2015, quickly outgrowing the original location. Much of 2015 was spent building out the current facility.

2016
Jack’s Abby at 100 Clinton St.

January 2016 was the first full month of production in the new facility, where production grew from 18,000 bbls to 34,500 bbls in just one year. This was also the first year of our Beer Hall operating as the brewery’s on-site full-service hospitality venue!

2018
Our First Batch of House Lager is Brewed

Our award-winning, crowd-pleasing Helles lager is first brewed. An instant hit, it became our official House Lager and we never looked back!

Fall 2019
Celtics Partnership

Jack’s Abby and the Celtics teamed up to bring you the fan-favorite light lager Banner City!

2026 – Onward
Jack’s Abby Continues to Grow!

We’re proud to be the leading craft lager producer in Massachusetts, distribute beers across the country, and host over 150,000 guests in our Beer Hall annually!
