The owners of Jack’s Abby have reached a deal to buy Night Shift Brewing, a move that solidifies the Framingham brewer’s status as the biggest producer of craft beers in Massachusetts.

The company behind two well-known local breweries is adding another big name within the local beer scene: Night Shift Brewery.

We are excited and thrilled to announce that Night Shift Brewing is being acquired by the local, family-owned Hendler Family Brewing Co. We'll be joining an impressive portfolio of local craft brands including Jack’s Abby and Wormtown to create the largest producer of craft beer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
