Castle Island To Acquire Cambridge Brewing

From Cambridge Brewing:

Well folks, today is a special day for us. We’re thrilled to announce that the iconic Cambridge Brewing Company (CBC) brand has officially been acquired by Castle Island Brewing Company(CIBC).

For 35 years, CBC has been a cornerstone of the Boston beer scene and a massively impactful member of the American craft beer community. We began partnering with CIBC earlier this year to help meet draft demand for our legendary Amber Ale and Flower Child IPA, and when CBC founder Phil Bannatyne decided to retire, we received an overwhelming response from the public asking us to continue making our beers somehow. Phil reached out to CIBC with the hope that CBC’s legacy could live on, as both Phil and Brewmaster Will have a lot of respect for CIBC and feel the values and visions of our two companies align well.

“Our mission is to preserve everything fans love about CBC while slowly growing its reach” says Adam Romanov, founder and CEO of Castle Island. You’ll still be able to find CBC beers on tap at area bars and restaurants, plus at CIBC taprooms in Norwood and South Boston. Eventually, the hope is to get cans back on shelves throughout Greater Boston.

While our beloved Kendall Square brewpub is closing this week, there is reason to celebrate the future of CBC beer. We are thrilled the folks at CIBC have agreed to carry the torch and keep the spirit of CBC alive and thriving!
