Lord Joins Narragansett As First Female Director of Brewing Operations Ahead of Highly Anticipated Providence Brewery Opening
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Narragansett Beer is proud to announce industry veteran Lee Lord as the new head brewer. A tried–and–true New Englander, Lord joins Narragansett, as the brand’s first ever female head brewer, armed with more than a decade ofexperience in the craft beer and brewing industry. Leading up to and after the official opening of the highly anticipated Narragansett Brewery in spring 2021, Lord will play critical role in the exciting Providence homecoming and next chapter.
Originally from Lexington, Massachusetts, Lord joins Narragansett after years plying her trade at brewpubs and taprooms throughout the region, beginning in 2010 at Watch City in Waltham, Massachusetts followed by Smuttynose Brewing Co. in Hampton, New Hampshire and, most recently, as head brewer at Cambridge Brewing Co. in Boston, Massachusetts. As head brewer of Narragansett, Lord will oversee operations and production of all beer produced at the Providence brewery and lead a team of assistant brewers. A lifelong Narragansett fan, Lord’s move to the heritage New England craft trailblazer is a natural next step.
