Brewer's Coalition in Newtonville Has Closed

A neighborhood restaurant in the western suburbs that was known in part for its craft beer list has shut down.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Brewer's Coalition in Newtonville is no longer in business, with an Instagram post from the Walnut Street spot saying the following:

Since [March 14, 2020] our successful Newton location has taken a big hit. Our recent sales volume was more than 50% less than what it was pre-Covid. No business can survive that, no matter how much we wanted it to. We don't take major decisions like this lightly because we know that it impacts many people, not just us. Today we move on, but we remember and sincerely thank all of those who have supported and helped us along the way.

Brewer's Coalition, which first opened in 2012, was under the same ownership as John Brewer's Tavern in Malden and Waltham, along with Offshore Ale Company in Oak Bluffs.

The address for the now-closed Brewer's Coalition was 344 Walnut Street, Newtonville, MA, 02460.
