The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here’s some of what’s been happening in the beer world, while you were drinking your way through a beautiful October weekend.
Trillium’s Modern Restaurant And Brewery Opens (Boston, MA) – Trillium’s long anticipated brewery and restaurant soft-opened on Friday, 10 days before it officially opens its doors to the public on October 29th.
Undoubtedly one of Boston’s hottest brewing operations, Trillium was founded by JC and Esther Tetreault. And what started in 2013 has grown from a small brewing operation in South Boston to include a taproom and primary production facility Canton, summer and winter beer gardens, a farm brewery in planning and now their first restaurant/brewery.
Located just around the corner from the brewery’s original South Boston location, Trillium’s three story 18,000-square-foot space features modern New England farmhouse inspired food created by Chef Michael Morway and a dynamic beer list brewed on site with both stainless steel fermentation and oak foeders.
Trillium’s new Fort Point Restaurant & Brewery features an expansive first floor taproom with 20 active draft lines. The second floor offers the chef’s kitchen and a private dining area. The third floor is an open air terrace and bar that will remain available as weather permits.
