Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company
Tasty, boozy beers. No doubt. Especially Greylock.
55 Millbrook Street, Worcester, MA 01606https://greatergoodimperials.com
(508) 926-8736

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.

EvanaGreater Good Imperial Brewing Company
In a cool note, it was the very first beer brewed at the Millbrook St. brewery. Evana is smoother than Gretzky with a puck.

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.

Good Night MoonGreater Good Imperial Brewing Company
A super smooth porter, Good Night Moon is. Start this Imperial Porter after the kids go to bed, not before. This is definitely not a beer to rev up during Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy.
12% Imperial New England IPA
GreylockGreater Good Imperial Brewing Company
Like the mountain itself, Greylock is easier going up than down, thanks to a walloping 12% ABV.
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.
