Redemption Rock Brewing Co.
Redemption Rock Brewing Co. is a craft brewery, taproom, and cafe in Worcester, Mass. We make beer for people. "Beer for people" means beer enjoyed with a strong sense of community and camaraderie, and we aim to provide high-quality, fun beer in all its forms. 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. Finally, we’ve designed the Redemption Rock taproom to be the ultimate community gathering space. It’s bright, comfortable, and colorful and serves as both a coffeehouse and a bar. Visit us with your friends, come meet new friends, or even hold your private event here. We hope to see you soon.

It welcomes you to a new experience at the Christian Science Plaza. offering stories and experiences that explore progress and possibilities throughout the world as you consider your own place in it. Three different exhibits connect you to positive change flowing out of the inspired actions of everyday people in countries and cultures globally, including Boston’s iconic Mapparium™ experience.
