1. History of Central Artery Brewery & Beer Line

1.1. Journey From A Small Dream

Beautiful stories often start from small spaces, where dreams grow every day. Trillium Brewing Company is such a story. In 2013, JC and Esther Tetreault’s love for craft beer ignited in their hearts, prompting them to build their own beer haven. The first cradle was a tiny shop of just 37m² on Congress Street, where they nurtured the first drops of beer in their beloved growlers.

But the seed of passion always knows how to grow. After only one year, the beer flavor Trillium no longer confined to the jars, but spread in the first beer bottles, signaling a brilliant turning point. By 2015, that dream had fully grown to move to a large factory in Canton, opening a new chapter with not only high-stacked beer barrels, but also flavorful culinary parties. That journey was even more beautiful with the appearance of the beer garden on Rose Kennedy Greenway (2016) and the splendid Fenway facility (2019), transforming Trillium from a small dream into an indispensable part of the breath of Boston.
