Arlington Brewing Company Breaks Ground on New Brewery in Partnership with Haynes

Arlington Brewing Company New Brewery Groundbreaking

Arlington Brewing Company is finally getting a permanent home, and for a brewery that has spent the last several years building its name without a dedicated taproom, this is a pretty big step. The new Arlington Brewing Company brewery at 15 Ryder Street in Arlington, Massachusetts, is moving into construction after nearly two years of planning, with Haynes handling construction management and a projected Spring 2027 opening that will give the brewery something it has been working toward since its founding in 2021.

A brewery needs good beer, obviously, but having a place where people can sit down, try the latest releases, grab a meal and spend some time with friends can change the relationship between a local brewery and its community.

This is more than a new building. Arlington Brewing Company is planning a taproom, full-service kitchen and outdoor beer garden, creating a destination built around locally brewed beer, food and community gatherings, with live music and other events expected to be part of the experience.

That’s a meaningful change for a Massachusetts craft brewery that has been producing a range of beers while operating without a permanent public home, and it gives Arlington Brewing Company a chance to bring its hop-forward IPAs, crisp lagers, traditional British ales and seasonal beer releases directly to the people who want to drink them. The timing also comes after an important bit of recognition for the brewery, as its Trafford Ale earned a gold medal at the 2026 World Beer Cup in the English Mild Bitter category, a result that gives beer drinkers another reason to pay attention to what this Arlington brewer is doing.

Good beer deserves a home. And while a groundbreaking is only the beginning of a construction project, it makes the Spring 2027 target feel a little more real for the brewery and the people waiting to see what comes next. Arlington Brewing Company has been developing its identity through the beer itself, from traditional styles to more hop-forward offerings, and the new Arlington taproom should give that work a more visible place in the local craft beer scene, where customers can discover the brewery’s lineup, return for familiar favorites and see what is coming out of the brewhouse as the seasons change.

There is still construction ahead, of course, and a lot has to happen before the first pint is poured at Ryder Street, but this partnership with Haynes marks a clear move from planning to building.

The following press release from Arlington Brewing Company shares details of the groundbreaking at 15 Ryder Street, the brewery’s partnership with Haynes, the planned taproom and beer garden, and the expected Spring 2027 opening of its new Arlington, Massachusetts, brewery.
