1. The Journey of Pure Flavor: The Notch Brewing Story

1.1. The Prelude to an Adventure

In 2010, when the beer world was drowning in the intoxication of strong and bitter beers, a dreamy brewer named Chris Lohring quietly wrote his own song. He left the beaten path to embark on an adventure unlike any other: establishing a “consignment” brewery, without its own headquarters, carrying only a pure philosophy – honoring light Session Beers, under 4.5% alcohol. It is a love song for long conversations, where the flavor is full but the mind is still calm.

And then, that journey also blossomed. 2016, loud laughter and warm malt aroma officially found a home in Salem, Massachusetts. The doors of the first brewery and restaurant opened, marking a turning point for Notch to personally nurture his dreams. That aspiration continued to grow, and in 2021, a more open, cozy space was born in Brighton, Boston, as a proud affirmation: sophistication and lightness can also conquer the hearts of the most connoisseurs.

It is notch, is a personal mark printed on the body of the cup, like a seductive message about the beer lines with lower alcohol content engraved. Every time you raise your glass of Notch, you remember the promise: to enjoy it passionately while still staying sober to fully feel each flavor.
