Founded in 2016 on the campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Bright Ideas Brewing started with a simple goal: to provide great beer to museum-goers and North Adams locals alike, creating a common space where the two groups could connect.

Since then, Bright Ideas has grown and evolved, with every batch of beer aiming to improve on the one that came before. The reach of our beers expanded when we began canning and distributing our beers to local restaurants and package stores around western Massachusetts.

We’re looking to the future here at Bright Ideas Brewing. Over the next year, we are planning to expand our beer production operations. Stay tuned as we share more news about the future of Bright Ideas.
