1,000-Year-Old Brewery Comes To Bay State: MA Food Week

MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

The top story this week is an old one but a good one.

Framingham brewer Jack's Abby (one of the fastest growing brewers around) has teamed up with the world's oldest brewery, Weihenstephan in Germany's Bavaria region, on a new beer.

The fest-inspired beer called "Fest of Both Worlds" combines the classic elements of Weihenstephan's brewing with the modern elements of Jack's Abby. The new (old) brew is available now in stores in Massachusetts, and on tap at Jack's Abby's downtown Framingham brewery.
