Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Kingston, MA on the South Shore, Forty Second Brew Co is more than just a local brewery, it’s what many fondly call Kingston’s living room. What started as a humble home brewing operation has grown into a vibrant taproom in downtown Kingston, owned by Paul Schiele, Steve Darby, and Nia Tieu. Our goal?
To create a space where the community can kick back, share a few laughs, and enjoy good beer with great company. As our regular Dennis Moriarity puts it best, “There are no strangers at Forty Second Brew Co, just friends you haven’t met yet.”That welcoming spirit is at the core of everything we do. Our team at Forty Second Brew Co, led by taproom manager Sunni Rotondo, prides itself on outstanding customer service, a cozy atmosphere, and a lineup of beers that keep locals coming back for more.
Whether you’re sipping on our crisp Locals Lite American Lager, diving into the bold flavors of Shipwrecked or Ship Faced NEIPA, or exploring our collab with Siren Lures, the Deep Seductress NZIPA, there’s something for every palate. Don’t miss Falco Trivia Night hosted by yours truly, Mike Falco, packed with laughs, some heckling, and a whole lot of fun. And if you’re not following us on social media, please follow us on Instagram (@42ndbrewco) and Facebook (Forty Second Brew Co.) for some fun content and beer updates.
Collaboration is in our DNA, from working with nearby restaurants and small businesses to showcasing talented local musicians every Saturday, Forty Second Brew Co is a hub for community connection. So, if you’re looking for killer craft beer, warm vibes, and a place that truly supports local, stop in and enjoy a few cold beers and good company. Follow along and come be part of the story.
