Redemption Rock Brewing Co.

Redemption Rock Brewing opened in an industrial area off Worcester’s Shrewsbury Street in January 2019, later becoming the first certified B Corp. craft brewery in the state in the process.

The closure will mark the end of a near-six-year run for the small craft brewery, which saw it navigate a global pandemic while becoming a prominent member of the city’s small business scene.

Mane Event is a hoppy blonde ale, with alcohol by volume of 4.8%, and is brewed with Wai-iti hops, creating a tropical aroma with hints of mango, peach and grapefruit. 

Normally a venue for networking events, comedy shows, and casual conversations, Redemption Rock Brewing in Worcester has cooked up a bit more intense event, as the craft beer brewery and taproom is set to host a wrestling event by Worcester-based promotion Beyond Wrestling. 

The beer, a pilsner with an 4.4% ABV called Grass Fed, will exclusively be available at Fix locations.

While corporate profits have surged to near record levels, operators of prominent small businesses in Worcester have not seen the same growth.
