Wormtown Brewery announces sudden Worcester comeback after months-long hiatus
After months of suspense, Wormtown Brewery has finally answered the burning question: when is it going to open its Worcester taproom?
The answer: Today.
The surprise news comes after months of renovations at Wormtown's Shrewsbury Street location.
The new taproom has nearly doubled the space, increasing the venue's capacity to 300 guests.
The renovated taproom will feature 16 taps, allowing Wormtown to showcase more limited-edition beers.
Wormtown announced that two taps will be devoted to experimental beers. Additionally, some beers will be exclusive to the taproom, including:
-
Be Kool (Fruit Punch DIPA)
-
Be Lucky (Nitro Irish Stout)
-
Seven Hills (Pils)
-
Shrewsbury St. Wheat (American Wheat)
-
Welcome to The Woo (American Light Lager)
The kitchen and menu have also been updated. New items include tate tot lamb ragu poutine, chicken pot pie and a "Worcester Burger."
The reopening ends what had been a strange, months-long state of purgatory for Worcester's first craft brewery.
For years, Wormtown has been a beer destination on Shrewsbury Street. However, the brewery has undergone significant changes in recent years.
In 2024, Wormtown was purchased by Hendler Family Brewing Company , the parent company of Framingham Brewery Jack's Abby.
As a result of the Hendler acquisition, Wormtown moved its brewing operations from Worcester to Framingham. That allowed the brewery to expand its taproom into space that had previously been used to brew beer.
Here are the new operating hours for Wormtown's Worcester taproom:
-
Monday: 3 p.m. - 9 p.m.
-
Tuesday: 3 p.m. - 9 p.m.
-
Wednesday: 3 p.m. - 9 p.m.
