Vis Major Brewing

Located in the heart of historic Hanscom Park and Field Club neighborhoods, VMB provides a community-centric tasting room, and party room. Join us for a beer, a brat, and so much more!
We offer up inspired, artisan craft beer to enlighten the palate and charm the spirit with a diverse menu of year-round, seasonal, and specialty
