About

Lower Forge Brewery, opened in 2016 as Medford's original craft brewery on Main Street, produces beers and hard seltzers using sustainably sourced local ingredients from Pine Barrens farms, forests, and cranberry producers. They emphasize community ties with small-batch, seasonal brews featuring fruits, botanicals, and spices, alongside eco-friendly practices like feeding spent grain to local farms and recyclable packaging. The taproom hosts events like the Medford Halloween Parade and Diwali celebrations.
