A Look Back at Brew Talks New England

Oct. 27, 2016 at 4:51 PM

Brewbound traveled to Framingham, Mass. on Monday, October 24 to host its sixth and final Brew Talks meetup of 2016.

Taking place at the Jack’s Abby brewery (100 Clinton Street, Framingham, MA. 01702), the event brought together 150 New England brewers, distributors and other industry professionals for a night of open, honest discussion on the craft beer marketplace.

The evening’s feature panel discussion examined the current alcohol laws in Massachusetts and looked at a variety of legislative issues, including franchise law reform, licensing clarification efforts, pay-to-play concerns and even marijuana legalization initiatives.

In a second conversation, Jack’s Abby co-founders Sam and Jack Hendler discussed their strategies for competing in an ultra-crowded craft segment and the company’s recently announced Springdale Barrel Room side project.
