Everett, Massachusetts, is getting ready to say goodbye to a local favorite. BearMoose Brewing Company, found at 1934 Revere Beach Parkway, is set to close its doors permanently on April 19. The news comes as a shock to many loyal patrons who have grown fond of this unique local brewery, especially considering it had only opened its doors in the summer of 2019.
The closure is attributed to what the owners, Drew and Mary Gilman, have described as “unfortunate business circumstances.” The craft beer industry has been facing a slew of challenges recently, especially across New England. This trend of consolidation seems to be affecting many small businesses, and BearMoose is no exception.
BearMoose Brewing Company had its beginnings in a renovated space that used to be an old machine shop. The Gilmans transformed this once-forgotten spot into a cozy brewery that quickly became a hub for the community. Focusing mainly on taproom sales, they offered a variety of brews available for takeaway in cans and crowlers, attracting both local beer enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
For the Gilmans and their patrons, BearMoose was much more than just a brewery. It became a gathering space, a place where friendships blossomed over a shared love for craft beer. As they prepare to close, they have expressed immense gratitude for the support they have received from both customers and staff throughout the years. This appreciation reflects the strong bond they’ve built with the community, which has been integral to their journey.
The final day of operation, Saturday, April 19, promises to be a bittersweet occasion for many. Locals are expected to flock to BearMoose for one last round, hoping to celebrate the memories and the many pints shared there. Although they are closing for now, the Gilmans have left a glimmer of hope by stating they are “keeping the door ajar.” Who knows? One day there might be a few pints to fill again in this cherished establishment!
As the community grapples with the loss of BearMoose Brewing Company, it raises questions about the future of local craft breweries.
