In August of 1997, Founder and retired Master Brewer, John Korpita opened the doors to the Amherst Brewing Company in Downtown Amherst. Over the last 25 years, Amherst Brewing has evolved to become one of the most successful and highly rated local breweries in the area, with a roster of over 125 small batch beers, churning out roughly 111,600 gallons of craft beer each year. Distributing throughout the entire state of Massachusetts, chances are you can find their flagship IPA, JESS, just about anywhere.
In 2015, The Hangar Pub acquired the brewery where it is now located at the Hangar of Amherst. Since then, The Hangar Pub now has six locations, one in every Western Mass county where you’ll find plenty of extremely fresh Amherst Brewing beers on draft. The craft beer process is rooted in decades of small batch experience built on a solid foundation of traditional beer making with an experimental approach. Designing beers that can be appreciated on their own but can also be enjoyed with food at any Hangar Pub.
