Description
Moon Hill Brewing, Co. is the parent company of our brewpub, the Gardner Ale House. Moon Hill was begun to make beer, food and good times available to the world, with an emphasis on the beer. We began with our brewpub (the Ale House), which now, 10 years later, sports 14 Moon Hill beers on tap and a worthy-of-Boston-or-New York bistro-pub style menu. Now, we are finally ready to distribute our beer beyond our bar and launch our parent’s name, Moon Hill Brewing, Co.! The very same beers you find on tap at the Ale House are now available as Moon Hill Brewing, Co.’s beers on tap at other locations beyond the Gardner Ale House.
