about our host
The Patriot Place taproom is spacious with ample natural lighting. There is a mix of high-top and low top seating including the lounge corner which has cozy lounge chairs and a fireplace.
It all began in an ice cream shop on Park Ave in Worcester.
Ben had a vision for a brick and mortar brewery in his hometown of Worcester, MA and Tom was trying to figure out what to do with the addition on his restaurant that was the former home to Peppercorn’s Ice Cream Factory. After a few beers one night on a bar stool, a plan was formed to start a brewery that would be committed to being local both in our branding and our ingredients.
The brewery officially opened on March 17, 2010 and we really weren’t sure what to expect… worst case we’d have a lot of beer to share with our friends. Luckily, we received incredible support from our local community that extended to the entire beer community, with medals at GABF, World Beer Cup and numerous awards around the globe since.
In January 2015, after 13 months of construction and almost 5 years crammed in an ice cream stand, we brewed our first beer on Shrewsbury St. located in the heart of Worcester. Fast forward to today, we are continuing to expand our capacity in Worcester and now have a beautiful second taproom with a 7bbl “test kitchen” at Patriot Place in Foxborough, MA.
More capacity means we can offer our beers in more places! Currently, we are available in all of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Vermont with hopeful plans to one day fill out all of New England.
Wait, the name? Well, Wormtown was simply way cooler than Worcester Brewing Company. And it allows us to have that 3-decker attitude that we put into all of our beers!
What is a Business After Hours Event?
Business After Hours facilitates the development of personal relationships which enables individuals to stand out and rise above today’s multitude of advertising white noise. Networking is one of the most affordable means of marketing resulting in invaluable personal referrals and word-of-mouth advertising. Business people are more inclined to do business with people they know and are more inclined to refer friends, family and customers to someone they know. This provides an excellent opportunity to get your company name, products and services out there – to make yourself and your company known. And a great way to meet potential customers and increase your customer base.
