Packed into Brian Shirleyâs finished garage in the Boston suburb of Reading are four fermentation tanks that, officially, make up an entire brewery.
Time & Materials Beer Co. is licensed to brew and sell beer by the state of Massachusetts (so long as the taxable goods are kept under lock and key, which they are). Itâs in this garage that Shirley tinkers with imaginative beers heâll soon sell more regularly to the public. Shirley has no intention of moving into a bigger space, or opening a taproom; this is the brewery, and one of the main reasons â besides raising a family â that he decamped from Cambridge.
MARLBOROUGH Lost Shoe Brewing and Roasting Company temporarily closed its taproom Tuesday after two employees tested positive for COVID-19.
The two employees last worked at the downtown brewery and coffee roaster on Tuesday, Dec. 8, and Thursday, Dec. 10. Both employees are doing well, Lost Shoe wrote in a message on its Facebook page.
“After discussing with the health department we don’t believe there has been any potential exposure risk to any of our customers or other employees, but we do feel closing to do an extra deep clean of our taproom is the right thing to do while we await the rest of our team’s results,” the post reads.
