Our marketing team wanted us to write something witty and fun for this section. Something more personal that’s also “good for SEO” (whatever that means). We could try that, but we figured we'd just say it like it is.
We’re here to have a good time all the time. We’re passionate about making great beer, and if we’re not proud of it, we don’t ship it. We believe you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously, and that we should all be excellent to each other.
Pretty simple stuff, but we think it’s a noble mission. If this sounds like your kind of party, then you’re in the right place. Welcome.
Who We Are
At Castle Island, great beer is only part of the story.
Since opening our doors in 2015, we’ve worked hard to build a business that stands for quality, community, and connection—and the recognition we’ve earned along the way reflects that.

Built for Community

Because at the end of the day, community is what keeps us grounded—and what keeps us brewing.
