Name: Classes Return
Start: 2026-10-25
Location: Gnarly Barley Brewing

Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. emerged from a garage that smelled of motor oil and spilled hops, growing from a hobbyist experiment into Hammond's most audacious beer shrine. Zac and Cari Caramonta swapped their skateboards for stainless‑steel kettles and now churn out a line of drinks that could make a grown‑up weep with joy. Their flagship hazy New England IPAs are as fluffy as a cloud and as bold as a brass band, while the ever‑expanding menu includes inventive sours, crisp lagers and non‑alcoholic options for the teetotaler who still wants to feel the buzz.

The taproom is a sprawling arena where bingo, open‑mic nights and impromptu jam sessions flow as freely as the pour. Dogs are welcome on the picnic‑table‑lined patio, and a rotating lineup of food trucks supplies everything from gumbo to gourmet tacos on weekends. Merch lovers can snag shirts and glasses bearing the brewery’s cheeky logo, while the community vibe (a genuine love of good beer and good company) keeps the doors swinging open well after the last round.
