Overview
The True North Ale Company is located on Boston’s North Shore in historic Ipswich, Massachusetts. The word “True” of True North Ales has special meaning to us and reflects our core values of integrity and honesty in all that we do. “North” refers to Boston’s North Shore, our home. And “True North” reflects the nautical and maritime heritage of Ipswich and the surrounding coastal communities.

Founded by the father and son team of Gary and Jake Rogers, True North Ales has a unique perspective on brewing beer with a multi-generational group of family and friends working together to produce highly creative craft beers. Our team, led by Head Brewer Seth Barnum, is excited to be brewing juicy American IPAs, sophisticated Belgian ales, classic German lagers, cutting-edge sours, and many more traditional and experimental styles.

Voted Best Brewery on Boston's North Shore four consecutive years by the readers of North Shore Magazine, True North Ales has earned major international accolades. Our Vincianne Belgian Blonde Ale won the Gold Award at the 2018 World Beer Cup, a Gold Medal at the 2023 Great American Beer Festival (GABF), Gold Medals at the 2022 and 2019 North American Brewers Association (NABA) International Competition, and a Silver Medal at the 2021 NABA. Our Cerveza Mexican Lager won a Gold Medal at the 2021 GABF and Silver Medals at the 2020 GABF, at the 2021 NABA, at the 2022 Best of Craft Beer Awards, and at the 2018 New York International Beer Competition where we were named Massachusetts Lager Brewery of the Year. And Northern Haze Juicy IPA won a Bronze Medal at the 2021 GABF and a Silver Medal at the 2019 NABA. Others of our specialty beers won Gold (3) and Bronze Medals (7) at NABA and Silver (1) and Bronze (2) at Best of Craft Beer Awards.

Newly built and opened in the fall of 2017, the brewery boasts a 15,000 square foot facility with state-of-the-art brewing equipment, a high-speed canning line, and on-site Taproom and patio. Our Taproom offers a welcoming environment to thirsty locals and out-of-town visitors, and a gathering place for business and community groups. The North Side event space is available for large and small group gatherings up to 250 guests, ranging from fundraisers to corporate meetings to weddings.

Voted Best Taproom on Boston's North Shore, the True North Ales Taproom serves pints and flights of core brands, as well as batches found exclusively at the brewery. Growler fills and packs of cans are available for retail take-away from the Taproom. Our beers will also be found in bars, restaurants, and on store shelves throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
