Jamaica Plain’s newest brewery and taproom brings a LGBTQ+- and woman-owned enterprise to the local craft beer industry.

Liz Nicol, a former civil engineer, is owner and head brewer of Drawdown Brewing, located at Berkeley Investments’ 3200 Washington St. apartment complex in Egleston Square.

Designed by RODE Architects and constructed by J.J. Welch Co., the 36-seat, 2,500-square-foot brewery and taproom offers malt-forward beers and light bites. Drawdown Brewing is initially producing four classic, year-round styles, and plans to add seasonal and specialty brews in small batches to provide up to 10 varieties on tap.

They Said It:

“Drawdown Brewing Company is exactly the type of retail tenant we imagined for this project, neighborhood, and our residents. We were thrilled to provide Liz, a member of the Jamaica Plain community, with the space to showcase her diverse background and brewing talents.”
