We are delighted to announce that Notch Brewing will open a taproom and brewery at The Speedway, becoming the project’s anchor retail tenant. The first Boston-area location for the popular Salem-based craft brewery, Notch’s year-round beer garden will feature outdoor seating that spills out into the courtyard, enlivening this historic destination.

Launched in 2010, Notch Brewing – named for the nick made to keep record when you’re having more than one – was the first brewing company in the U.S. to focus exclusively on session beer, which only has 4.5% alcohol or less. These lower alcohol styles bring people together for social occasions without the intoxicating effects of some of today’s popular craft beer styles.
