Old Planters Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Beverly MA)

Old Planters Brewing Co. in Beverly, Massachusetts is a cheerful mash‑up of colonial nostalgia and modern craft savvy. The owners have teamed up with local legends Frank and Crave to churn out drinks that feel like a history lesson for the tongue (the marathon fundraiser ale even doubles as a charitable sprint).

Their lineup reads like a cheat sheet for anyone who takes beer seriously: the Walk in the Clouds Double NE IPA flaunts hop punch that could wake the dead, while the Frank/OPBC Limited Lager offers a crisp, unpretentious sip, and Crave’s Coffee Stout drags a rich, espresso‑laden finish into the night.

Step into the taproom and you’ll find a buzzing hive where live music, drag shows, and rotating local art keep the atmosphere as lively as the brews. The staff are affable enough to guide a first‑timer through the menu, and families feel just as at home as seasoned pint‑chasers. Regular community‑building events turn the place into more than a drinking venue—it’s a genuine gathering spot where good beer and good company are served in equal measure.
