Redemption Rock Brewing Co. is a craft brewery, taproom, and cafe in Worcester, Mass. We make beer for people.

Also, as a certified Benefit Corporation (B Corp), we’re dedicated to working for the community. It’s an essential part of our business, and we’re continually looking for new ways to support local organizations, partner with local businesses, and be a better kind of employer and corporate citizen.

Visit us with your friends, come meet new friends, or even hold your private event here. We hope to see you soon.
