Breweries
Ever since Samuel Adams Boston Lager burst onto the national scene in the 1980's and became the standard for craft beer, Massachusetts has become a state widely recognized and respected for its breweries and innovations in the craft beer industry. (Very quick definition of a craft brewer: An American craft brewer is small, independent, and uses traditional brewing methods.)
With our comprehensive list of Massachusetts breweries and brewpubs, you can find a local (it's a small state, so most are local!) brewery to visit and in many cases, take a tour of its facilities. From our experience, breweries are very welcoming and appreciative of visitors, though it is best to check for specific tour times and/or visiting hours, some of whose we have listed along with their contact information. If no tour information is listed, please contact the brewery for details.
So if you have some free time during the week and are curious about how your favorite beer is made, or you want to sample a few beers that you've heard of and wanted to try (brewery tours are an excellent way to so), or if you want to chat with someone from the beer industry about how get involved, check out the list and visit a few - and please let someone know that you found them on French Oak!

Perhaps the most compelling survival story of our time took place almost 100 years ago. This is a story of heroics, strength, fortitude and endurance. In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton, Second Officer Tom Crean and their 26 man crew launched a voyage from England to become the first polar explorers to traverse Antarctica. And so started the journey known as the Endurance expedition.
Endurance Brewing Company was founded with two clear goals in mind: to bring awareness of this incredibly heroic group of men and to provide beer enthusiasts with award-winning brews that help stir the adventurous nature of the spirit within. For well over 3 years, Endurance Brewing Company has been creating a branding strategy and beer recipe that we think would earn the respect of every man of the Endurance Crew.
Our flagship ale, Endurance Pale Ale, is dedicated to Second Officer Tom Crean, who was regarded by many historians as close to indestructible as any man that's ever lived. This smooth and crisp golden pale ale is rich in hops with a hint of citrus. Look for other Endurance Brewing Company beers shortly, but in the meantime, pour a tall, refreshing glass of Endurance Pale Ale, raise it high in honour of Tom Crean and the Endurance crew and enjoy one of the finest beers around.

Southampton was their new home. Life was good. Still something was missing. The call of the wild beckoned. A call they could not resist. Over the hill they went, heading west, in search of their new dream. Early one spring morn they arrived. "Opa-Opa!" they exclaimed with joy. "We've found it. This will be the best Brewery in the land!" The days were hard and the nights long.
With the help of some good people and a Master Brewer named Dan, they persevered. The Opa Opa Brewing Company was born. Now folks from all over can enjoy the award winning brews that have made the Opa-Opa name famous. Come visit the brewery that started it all.
