Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company in Worcester, MA
West Worcester Warehouse for the Win!

Tasty, boozy beers. No doubt. Especially Greylock.

Maybe the best of the Worcester breweries, Greater Good Imperial Brewing is located on Millbrook Street on the North side of the city. The taproom itself is plenty big, but get there early because it fills up. With bags and a Street Fighter II game, it's perfect for you 30/40-something parents who want to escape the rugrats.

Or, bring them, because Greater Good is kid friendly. The first time we went, there were zero kids. The next two? Parents were flocking to the joint to libate the pain of parenting away.

They also have a sub-brand, Soul Purpose, for people who want beers with less kick. Interestingly enough, you can get yourself Soul Purpose brews at Polar Park. The WooSox just became way more interesting with GG on tap.

Speaking of Polar Park, Greater Good will probably be represented at the 2nd Annual Food Truck & Craft Beer Festival being held on the field in October.

V is what happens when you combine five different hops and expect magic. The symmetrical nature of the letter is also well representative of the journey from East to West Coast in the IPA itself.

Soul Purpose (sub-brand)

Soul Purpose focuses on drinkability - aka - less ABV. They must have found people were coming to drink and staying for one only, since everything was 8% and higher.

  • EAZY
  • Shook Ones (Strawberry Milkshake IPA)

Brewery Food/Menu

They serve sandwiches and small plates, like a caprese panini, or the maui-wowi, and buffalo chicken dip. Pretzels, hot dogs, and a kids menu round off the test kitchen's lineup.

Brewery Entertainment & Events

A giant Connect Four game goes with the aforementioned bag toss and video games. And, they have live music on occasion. Greater Good should be a stop on any Worcester brewery tour you want to take.

Brewery Merch & Swag / Beer Swag

They offer plenty, like t-shirts, onesies, beanies, flannels, hoodies, and jackets. Plenty of craft beer gifts.
