ABOUT US

Our History

Bent Water Brewing was born from the mind of a scientist, artist, and beer enthusiast. From there, the Bent Water team formed, drawing in unique expertise to strike a balance between the artistic and scientific complexities of brewing and operating a brewery. The result?

Ingenuity & Predictability – – Creativity & Quality – – Variety & Familiarity

Bent Water Brewing is proud to call Lynn, MA home because of the city’s rich industrial roots and superior water source. We believe passion can turn industry into art; and with careful, creative manipulation, we bend water into unique, flavorful beer.

Bent Water’s first batch, brewed on a 15 BBL system, was released in December 2015 and distributed in the North Shore region of Massachusetts. Today, we operate on a 30 BBL system and distribute to Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Ohio. 

LOVE THE WATER

It’s the main ingredient in beer, it’s in our name, and the site of the brewery was selected because of its high quality in Lynn – WATER! While water is not unique to brewing, Bent Water Brewing’s focus on water is through a unique lens. We want to take the creativity of our team and brew the best quality beer possible and that starts with using the best quality water. Love the Water
