Hello friends and fans of Jack’s Abby & Wormtown,
We have some exciting news to share - Jack’s Abby has agreed to purchase Worcester based brewery and local mainstay, Wormtown Brewery.
This acquisition solidifies our local business as one of the largest one hundred percent family-owned brewing companies in the country under the newly launched banner of “Hendler Family Brewing Co.”
Here’s what you need to know:
*The Wormtown taprooms will remain in Worcester and Foxborough, now with additional resources and support from Jack’s Abby. Only Wormtown products will be served at Wormtown locations.
*We’re retaining the majority of non-ownership staff and are eagerly expanding our team
*We are committed to upholding the quality and consistency of Wormtown’s products and maintaining its core lineup of fan favorites, including Be Hoppy IPA, Be Smooth NEIPADouble IPA and Don’t Worry NEIPA.
*The Jack’s Abby headquarters and taproom will remain in Framingham, and will only serve Jack’s Abby products.
*The sale is expected to close officially early summer, 2024.
We are dedicated to fostering long-term growth and prosperity within the Massachusetts brewing landscape and that includes keeping beloved brands like Wormtown going strong.
When you grab a Be Hoppy IPA or House Lager, you’re not just enjoying a great craft beer, you’re supporting a local, family-owned business.
Prost,
Jack, Eric and Sam Hendler
