Burlington's Common Craft Welcomes Exhibit 'A' Brewery For Residency

BURLINGTON, MA — Framingham-based Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company has announced that it began a "residency" on Thursday at Common Craft, a restaurant, bar, retailer and event space at the Burlington Mall.

The arrangement will feature several of the craft brewery's award-winning beers on tap, including Goody Two Shoes and Hair Raiser. Additionally, Exhibit 'A' beers will available for purchase at Common Craft's bottle shop.

Exhibit 'A' will join producers like Idle Hands Craft Ales, Deacon Giles Distillery, and Elevage Wine Room, which have similar arrangements with Common Craft.

First opened this past summer, Common Craft features two taprooms, a speakeasy, and a wine bar and scratch kitchen. Common Craft is located in the new open-air lifestyle center of the Burlington Mall, 75 Middlesex Turnpike.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Common Craft to offer our award-winning selection of beer to the Northshore area, and to join forces with a company that shares a similar mission to ours — supporting local businesses," said Matthew Steinberg, Exhibit "A' co-founder and head brewer. "Our residency at Common Craft will allow new customers to experience Exhibit 'A' on draft and we're looking forward to being a part of this unique experience in Burlington."

According to Exhibit 'A,' the brewing company, which was established in 2016, is a long-time supporter of local businesses, sourcing local ingredients for all of its beverages.

In 2020, the craft brewery helped to launch the Northeast Grainshed Alliance and the Square Foot Project, which bring together breweries with farmers, processors, and educators to promote the use of local grains.

Larry Leibowitz, owner of Common Craft, called the establishment a "one-of-a-kind food and beverage experience," and said he is pleased to add products from Exhibit 'A' to Common Craft's offerings.

"As huge fans of Exhibit 'A' beer and their mission in local ingredient sourcing, the whole team was excited to bring them in as a producer," Leibowitz said. "We're looking forward to supporting another indie Massachusetts craft brewery and introducing an Exhibit 'A' selection to our patrons who come from all over the Northshore, Boston, New Hampshire, and beyond."
