Malt and hop lovers who have enjoyed the evolution of Mercury Brewing in Ipswich will be delighted with a brand-new 36,000–square-foot facility in downtown Ipswich that will finally house a pub. In the meantime, pick up some of the best craft-brewed ales in New England from Mercury. We suggest starting off with the popular Ipswich Original Ale and then savoring the rich, silkiness of the Ipswich Oatmeal Stout.

I am going to have to go with Haverhill Brewery. The brewmaster is a genius. Thank heavens he uses his powers for good.
April 20, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I believe the Haverhill brewery has some of the best beers this side of the Atlantic. Their Leatherlips IPA is by far the Best IPA in the East; and their Haverale and Whittier White beers are exemplary in their styles. I cannot wait for the release of Homerun APA in six packs.
