Hendler Family Brewing Co.
PROUDLY INDEPENDENT AND FAMILY OWNED
The story of Hendler Family Brewing Company is rooted in family values, entrepreneurial spirit, and a strong commitment to craft and community. Brothers Jack, Eric, and Sam Hendler continue a decades-old legacy that began in the 1950’s, when their grandfather, Richard Hendler, founded the Saxony Ice Company in New York. Their first jobs were alongside their father, Paul, and uncle, Jeff, who carried on the family business.
Guided by these values, Hendler Family Brewing Company has grown from Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers into a flourishing family business. Beyond brewing, the company continues to invest in its people and community by offering diverse career opportunities, providing nearly 300 jobs across five permanent locations in Massachusetts.
Jack's Abby Craft Lagers
Founded in 2011 by three brothers, Jack, Eric, and Sam Hendler, Jack’s Abby has become a mainstay of the craft brewing scene in the Northeast and nationwide.
Jack’s Abby brews lagers and only lagers. Born in Bavaria over 500 years ago, lagers became beloved across Europe. Lagers feature a distinctive smoothness and fullness that no other beer has and that we think everyone deserves.
Since its inception, the brewery has continued to uphold its mission of creating high-quality products that honor tradition and the spirit of inspired innovation. With an entrepreneurial heart and a passion for people, we take pride in learning from and contributing to our vibrant community.

Night Shift Brewing Company
In a Somerville, MA apartment in 2007, when 3 friends began homebrewing beer for friends and family. Their hobby took place after work, often stretching late into the night - what they called their “night shift.” Driven by a passion to craft more interesting and flavorful beers than the commercial options available, they turned that hobby into something bigger. In 2012, Night Shift Brewing officially launched in a small Everett warehouse, setting the foundation for what would become a thriving independent brewery.
Today, Night Shift Brewing continues to grow, fueled by the same commitment to creativity, quality, and community. With a dedicated team of hardworking staff, the company operates a taproom and brewery in Everett, a restaurant and brewery at Lovejoy Wharf in Boston, and a handful of seasonal Owl’s Nest beer gardens. Its portfolio of beverages can be found across the Northeast and beyond. Night Shift Brewing remains focused on three core values—inclusivity, innovation, and ingenuity—while embracing the mantra “all styles welcome.” We invite anyone and everyone to join us in welcoming all styles of beverages, people, and ideas. Welcome to the Night Shift.
Wormtown Brewery
Wormtown Brewery started in 2010 on Park Ave in Worcester, MA, transforming an old ice cream shop into a small brewery. From the beginning, the focus was on crafting great beer while staying true to its hometown roots. With strong support from the local community, new recipes were created and refined.
Then came Be Hoppy—a bold West Coast IPA released at the height of the Hazy New England IPA craze. It stood out from the pack and quickly became a fan favorite.
As word spread, so did the brewery. What started as a small Worcester operation grew into two taprooms and a brand recognized across New England. But no matter how far the beer travels, the mission remains the same: to craft high-quality beer that brings people together with a smile, one pint at a time.
