"Notch Brewing has been crafting pale ales, lagers, and pilsners in Salem since 2010. At their Salem taproom, you can try them all while snacking on German-leaning fare like a sausage sandwich on a brioche bun served with sauerkraut, pickled beets, and Dusseldorf mustard." - Celina Colby
"A production manager at this Salem brewery publicly detailed being subjected to sexist comments (including remarks from contractors during a brewhouse build) in an Instagram post on her first day out of the house since the COVID-19 pandemic; the post went viral, drawing over 1,000 messages reporting sexism, racism, sexual harassment, and assault across the craft-beer industry. She began reposting anonymous survivor accounts, her disclosures prompted investigations by major industry groups and led to calls for some industry figures to step down, while also generating widespread media interest and hundreds of interview requests." - ByDevi Jags
"Another North Shore brewery, only this time it’s the Zwickel we’re after. This unfiltered German pale lager is simultaneously sweet and dry and goes great with grilled meat, especially sausages. It’s available year-round. Availability: Notch is currently offering curbside pickup for beer to go, as well as contactless beer and food table service outdoors in the brewery’s biergarten. Zwickel is currently on tap at the biergarten but not available for curbside pickup. Notch distributes throughout Massachusetts and Maine." - Terrence Doyle
"Notch Brewing will open a taproom and brewery in the Boston area. The Salem brewery will anchor a new development project called the Speedway, which will ultimately be a collection of food and drink vendors with communal seating and other shared amenities." - Dana Hatic
"Notch Brewing offers excellent session beers such as pilsner and IPA. The beer garden also serves bar snacks like pretzels, cheese, pickled vegetables, and tinned fish." - Terrence Doyle
