Friends and supporters of Ipswich Ale Brewery,

 

As the beer and beverage industry continues to evolve and present challenges, we are poised to pivot with our business and adopt to the ever-changing beer landscape. We are very pleased to announce a partnership with our friends up the street at Riverwalk Brewing in Newburyport who will be producing our beer for us going forward. Our current facility was designed for a capacity that is underutilized, and is the driving force behind our decision for this change.

 

We are excited for the opportunity to work with the team at Riverwalk who have a shared vision for community and a commitment to quality. This partnership offers great opportunity for collaboration, and we are grateful for their willingness to align our businesses as we build a strong union for a successful future. This partnership will allow us to focus on strengthening the brand and evolving our business models for success together.

 

Please know that during this transition there will be no gap with your favorite Ipswich beers being available in the marketplace and at our very own Brewer’s Table. We look forward to Ipswich beer being available for many years to come and being better than ever! We also plan to resume brewing in the facility on a smaller scale, making interesting small batches and limited offerings. Stay tuned for more information…

 

With 32 years of history, Ipswich Ale Brewery has been an important pioneering figure in the regional craft beer industry and a big part of the fabric of the North Shore community. Many people have fond memories of their first sip of Ipswich Ale as their first experience of truly flavorful beer and ultimately helped beer lovers understand the full possibility of what the beverage could be. The brewery is proud to have served as a mentor to many in the local brewing community who would go on to work in the industry, including several who would take the leap into starting their own breweries.

 

We ask for your continued support, and please continue to purchase Ipswich at your favorite local package store, restaurant, or bar.

 

Thanks to all of you for your support over the years, and we look forward to continuing the legacy.

 

Cheers! 

From the Ipswich Brewery Team.
