Join us Wednesday at Dirty Truth for a showcase of Amory’s Tomb from 6-9P! Allen will be pouring five of our beers and discussing how each was made, as well as the local malt and fruit we use. After you taste, enjoy an à la carte beer pairing menu of small plates. No tickets are necessary, just an excitement for the nuance of Farmhouse Ale and how well they pair with food! Special small plates will only be available during the tasting.

It’s finally beer and cheese time!  Bring a friend with you this Saturday, 11/25 at Amory’s Tomb beer garden where Ben will be serving up his signature Raclette cheese on baguette with jam or honey. He’ll be there until the cheese runs out so put a sweater on and come by for lunch!

Join us at Amory’s Tomb for a monthly sip and shop featuring a variety of unique vendors adjacent to our expanded beer garden. Enjoy our handcrafted farmhouse-inspired ales and lagers while shopping handcrafted products all in one place, with live music and fun for the entire family!

We invite you to come down and celebrate one last time with us for our last day of service at 76 Main Street, Sunday the 16th. We’ll wrap everything up with one last hurrah before shuttering this rickety old bier cafe for good. We are not closing, but our new home — 100 feet away at 58 Main Street — isn’t quite ready for the public yet. Our beer garden will be opening later in April, and our Downtown Maynard taproom will reopen with cohesive indoor/outdoor service and a better overall experience for our guests in the coming months.

We’ll be kicking it oldschool with no kitchen so bring whatever you want to eat and help us kick a bunch of kegs so we don’t have to move ‘em. All week we’ll be open later hours and offering 10-20% discounts on beer to go and Merchandise.

Open Sunday, April 16th Noon to 8:00pm

We’ll have some very special guests stopping by to say farewell to this rickety old bier cafe and will probably find some weird stuff from the cellar to put on.

All week we’ll be open later hours and offering 10-20% discounts on beer to go and Merchandise.

On Friday we’ll be tapping a firkin of Old Boston Mild ale, as well as a DSS Members Exclusive cask of Wax Galaxies with Ginger, Lime & Black Peppercorn which should pour into the weekend. On Saturday we’ll be pulling out the jockey box for even more variety and we hope to end the week with 14 offerings on draught. DJ P. Michael Jeffries and Johnny Vaz will also be here Saturday, curating some weirdness to close this place out in style.
