Brockton Beer Company was established in 2018 and opened a brewery on Main Street Brockton one year ago in May. It is owned by five families who believe deeply in Brockton. Founders, Pierre Alexandre, Rowan Olmstead, Eval Silvera, Latisha Silvera, and Ed Cabellon stated “as long term Brockton residents, we knew it was time to create a brewery that shares in the values of the city we live, work, and play. It’s our focus to use the inspirations of our city and its heritage to create outstanding craft beer.” Combined, they have invested more than 1.3 million dollars to get the production facilities and brew pub up and running. “Crafted for Community”, Brockton Beer Company and the new Brew Pub (Brockton’s first), reflect the owners’ commitment to the City of Champions. The new Brockton Beer Company and Brew Pub is open each week, Wednesday 4-10PM, Thursdays 12-10PM, Saturdays 12-10PM, and Sundays 12-5PM (check their site for updated hours).
