BOSTON, FEBRUARY, 2018 -- There was an old adage in the 20th century about always listening to your bartender. In the 21st century, you should always listen to your brewer.

With that in mind, indie617 and Down The Road Beer Co. are excited to announce the return of their indieBrews live music series, which pairs Boston bands with limited-release beer, brewed specifically for this series. After its successful launch, indieBrews now runs every second Friday of the month, through May, at Down The Road’s spectacular brewery and taproom in Everett (199 Ashland St.).

After rousing performances and beer launches from North Shore garage rock noise-makers Salem Wolves (IPA with special Styrian Wolf Hops) and power-pop band Parks (mango guava sour ale), indieBrews returns to Down The Road on Friday, March 8 with a set from Boston dance party dynamo Party Bois, named the Electronic Artist of the Year at the 2018 Boston Music Awards.


So far, the pairing of indie617 and Down The Road has been a hit -- both for the ears and the taste buds.

“This gives us an opportunity to pair bands with a one of a kind beer,” says indie617 President/Managing Partner Paul Driscoll. “We’re excited to partner with Down The Road and the Boston bands we’ve been supporting on indie617. It’s not everyday you have the opportunity to bring these two things together -- booking a unique live music series with an exclusive, limited-edition beer.”

This is no awkward pairing -- Down The Road’s taproom is built with live music in mind, with a full-size stage, professional sound, and a room large enough to host one hell of a party. It sounded great in January and February, and it should sound even better come March.

"In Down The Road's ongoing quest to be the best beer hall in town, we are setting sail on an ambitious new project to put Down The Road on the map as a music destination,” the brewery says. “In addition to building an in-house team of experienced industry pros, we are also partnering with indie617 to help us book some of the hottest new acts in Massachusetts and beyond! Creating a new music venue on top of a beer hall is a huge undertaking, but with friends like indie617, we know that it will be a smash hit!"
