Our Story

A MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER ADAM PEARSONWe think of beer as a catalyst of sorts. Beer can help bring people together and a taproom provides a gathering space for people to meet and connect. We design our beers for ‘drinkability’ and they should be as easy to enjoy as they are flavorful and aromatic. We think that’s a big part of building the taproom as a gathering place. We are opening a taproom that has several things which we have found are important to consumers:Authenticity, by experiencing our beers at the source, as fresh and true as they were intended.Transparency, by being able to see the brewery, watch our staff in action, and to chat with our staff about how we brew and what we use to make our beers.Community, by giving people of similar interests a place to hang out, by connecting with area food vendors to provide great things to eat, and by partnering with other local businesses and groups to promote and support their efforts.Since we opened, Merrimack Ales has distributed beer to a growing number of accounts – beer stores, bars, and restaurants. We felt it would be the best way to ‘get our brand out there’ so people could find out about us and visit the brewery. Those accounts have been great and we intend to keep those relationships and grow our distribution further, in order to make our beers available to everyone in the area.
