East Regiment Beer Company

East Regiment Beer Company brews a rotating lineup of IPAs, sours, lagers, ales, hard seltzer and experimental beers at its brewery in the heart of downtown Salem. Visitors can try several styles with a flight, pair beers with food, or settle in at the taproom for live music and events. The setting is family-friendly, with activities for children, and the taproom offers a wide selection of craft beer for guests who simply want to relax.

The kitchen partner, Crazy Good Kitchen, serves chicken sandwiches, burgers and other American comfort food in a no-frills style, and the brewery also promotes BBQ among its food offerings. Outside, a four-season covered patio is heated and welcomes dogs, so guests can sip beer with their pets whatever the weather. The brewery also operates a mobile beer truck that can be hired to serve beer at outside events and celebrations.
