Description

Dorchester Brewing Co. opened in 2016 as the first contract brewery in the city of Boston. Sited within a transitional zone along Mass Ave between Dorchester and Boston, the Brewery was envisioned as a future "gateway" into Dorchester. Its success has become a catalyst for the development of the surrounding South Bay, Newmarket, and Mass Ave corridor.

We created a facility that does much more for the community than provide beer.

Our client's vision was to provide a lively, inclusive environment for the community to gather; to provide the local business community with shared space and resources; and to encourage minority-owned businesses to put down roots in the neighborhood.

The adaptive reuse project was completed in two phases. Phase one renovated the existing HVAC warehouse into a contract brewing incubator space. Phase two added the glass and steel solarium, aptly named, “The Hopservatory.”
The Brewery also includes a large tap room, game room, retail area, and commercial kitchen, currently occupied by Dorchester-based M&M BBQ.
The facility truly represents the community of Dorchester, one of the country’s most diverse neighborhoods.
