Tracking 10 new and coming-soon eastern Massachusetts breweries

Gentile Brewing Co.: This Beverly-based brewery and taproom, helmed by former Ipswitch Ale Brewery brewer Paul Gentile and his wife, hopes to be serving beer as early as mid-January. Staying relatively small and locally focused is the goal, with just three two-barrel fermenters currently installed. Gentile says he prefers simple beers, so he’ll begin by brewing four year-round draft offerings including a blonde ale, an IPA, a porter and a stout. Some of his kegs will also tap at Beverly and Salem restaurants, but the 48-person-capacity taproom will be the focus. Check the website for hours before you visit, though; Gentile plans to be open only Friday evenings and weekend days.
