Brewery Profile
Remnant Brewing
In Union Square, a visitor encounters a small urban brewery that is part of Somerville’s post-2010s craft beer growth rather than an older industrial landmark. Remnant Brewing began operations in 2018, and its original brewhouse remains in Somerville. The public-facing experience is best understood as a neighborhood beer stop tied to local community use, with the brewery’s identity shaped not only by what is poured but by its role in the square around it. A notable chapter came in 2023, when two long-term team members acquired vested ownership, making the business women-owned and brewer-owned. That change gives the brewery a clear current identity without requiring a visitor to know a detailed origin story.
Travelers exploring beer in Greater Boston often look for compact, walkable brewery visits that can fit between restaurants, music, transit, and other neighborhood stops. Somerville and Cambridge are well suited to that kind of itinerary, and Remnant fits as a Union Square anchor for visitors who want to see how local craft beer operates in a dense city setting. Regional beer drinkers may arrive looking for familiar New England taproom experiences, seasonal releases, or simply a current draft list they cannot find at home. Since specific offerings can change, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours and decide what best matches a visitor’s preferences.
For planning, the key distinction is between the original Somerville brewery and the newer East Cambridge site. In 2023, Remnant expanded with a second location called Satellite in the former Atwood’s space. That location extends the company beyond beer service by adding a more comprehensive food and cocktail program alongside the brewing side of the business. Visitors choosing between the two should treat Union Square as the place most directly tied to the original brewhouse, while Satellite is better suited to those seeking a broader food-and-drink outing. Hours, draft availability, event schedules, and any on-site service details should be checked directly before visiting, since those are operational details that can change.
Located in Union Square, Somerville, Remnant Brewing began operations in 2018, focusing on craft beer production and local community engagement. The brewery underwent a significant ownership change in 2023 when two long-term team members acquired vested ownership, establishing Remnant as a women-owned and brewer-owned entity. While the original brewhouse remains in Somerville, the company expanded its footprint in 2023 with a second location, named Satellite, situated in the East Cambridge neighborhood. This expansion into the former Atwood’s space allows the operation to integrate a more comprehensive food and cocktail program alongside its core brewing activities.
