Alewives Tap Room (High Street Place food hall)

Alewives Tap Room is a craft beer tap room inside the High Street Place food hall in downtown Boston. It pours a curated, rotating lineup of beers, featuring favorites from Newburyport Brewing Company alongside beers from other breweries around Greater Boston. As a counter inside a food hall, it gives visitors a place to order a local craft beer in the middle of downtown, with taps that change over time.

Allison Fisher and Crystal Rimoczy opened the tap room, inspired by the success their husbands have had as owners of Newburyport Brewing Company. That family link explains the prominence of Newburyport Brewing beers on the list, while the rotation leaves room for other Greater Boston brewers. Because the lineup changes, the tap room posts its current beer menu online so visitors can see what is pouring before they go.
