Cambridge Brewing Company

In 1989, Cambridge Brewing Company began its beer brewing journey as pioneers of the brew pub movement in the Greater Boston area. Since then, Cambridge Brewing Company has become a staple of the craft beer scene in Massachusetts. Their philosophy is all about seasonal ingredients that evoke the character of New England. It is not a surprise that Cambridge Brewing Company was one of the first brewing companies to brew seasonal beers. Probably their most successful beer is their Autumn seasonal beer the Great Pumpkin Ale. The brewmasters at Cambridge Brewing Company use pumpkins sourced locally from the Farm School in Athol, Massachusetts, and Wilson Farms in Lexington, Massachusetts. They even source organic barley grown in Massachusetts for the brewing of their Great Pumpkin Ale. Like many other pumpkin beers, the Great Pumpkin Ale is brewed with a combination of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg to give the beer a true taste of the autumn season. The Great Pumpkin Ale has a distinct orange color which lets you know you are drinking a pumpkin beer. The Great Pumpkin Ale has a typical ABV of 5.4%. Besides their Great Pumpkin Ale, Cambridge Brewing Company brews a variety of styles of beer such as a porter, an American IPA, an amber ale, a pale ale, and an American cream ale for example. I have sampled their Charles River Porter and their American IPA called the Flower Child besides their pumpkin ale. Their porter is dark, rich, and robust that is a great beer to have once the autumn and winter weather comes. If you are a fan of IPAs, their Flower Child IPA is a beer you should definitely try. You can sample their wide variety of beers alongside some delicious pub grub at their brew pub in Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Most of their menu items are suitable to be eaten alongside one of CBC's award winning beers. Besides their brew pub in Kendall Square, you can find their beers on tap at a variety of bars and pubs throughout the Greater Boston Area. I highly suggest you try their beers out if you are a beer fanatic and live in the Greater Boston area. Cambridge Brewing Company is one of the many brewing companies that make Massachusetts a beer lovers paradise.
