Local Provisions: Shovel Town Brewery
Shovel Town Brewery, located in the historic section of Easton, is a microbrewery dedicated to high-quality lagers and ales.

Local Provisions: Brewery 44 & Forty Second Brew Company
Born during the COVID pandemic, Brewery 44, is an authentic farmhouse-style brewery. Mike Johnson, the proprietor, indicated that he was "looking for a new opportunity" and "purchased some homebrew equipment."
Black Hat Brew Works opened its doors in 2015 in the middle of the Scotland Boulevard industrial park in Bridgewater. Paul Mulcahy and his brother Scott first started homebrewing out of a shed in Norton. Time passed, experience was gained, better equipment was purchased, and the rest is history.

To the approximately two-thirds of our readers who do not grow asparagus...we encourage you to give it a try. When the stalks appear in our garden in early May (with no effort on our part), it makes us feel like successful gardeners early on. Planting and growing, it is not as difficult as the rumors imply.
