Notch Brewing

brews that are lower in alcohol but full of flavor. Since its founding in 2010 by Chris Lohring, Notch has pioneered the craft of creating beers that are easy to drink while maintaining the complexity and quality that beer lovers crave. Their flagship beers, like “Notch Session Pils” and “Left of the Dial IPA,” exemplify the brewery’s commitment to balancing lower alcohol content with a rich, satisfying taste. Notch is also known for its dedication to traditional brewing styles, often drawing inspiration from European lagers and ales, making them stand out in the New England craft beer scene.

Notch Brewing’s taproom and biergarten in Salem provide a unique, relaxed environment where guests can enjoy fresh, sessionable beers while overlooking the water. The brewery frequently hosts community events, beer education workshops, and live music, creating a welcoming space for both locals and visitors. With the recent addition of a second location in Brighton, Notch continues to grow its presence in Massachusetts while staying true to its roots of crafting well-balanced, flavorful session beers. Whether you’re exploring classic European styles or trying something new, Notch Brewing delivers a refreshing experience for beer lovers seeking quality without the buzz.
