Hannah’s Brewing Co. is Melrose’s First Brewery and Taproom

For years, Melrose was a "dry" city. That ended in 1973. Fifty years later, the city finally has its first taproom in Hannah's Brewing Co. Hannah's sits at the tail end of the stretch of Main Street making up downtown Melrose. Nestled in next to Melrose MA TV, a block up and over from the Wyoming Hill stop on the Commuter Rail, the brewery sits in a cozy little nook behind a patio abutting the sidewalk. That patio is the place to be in warm weather, nursing a pint as foot traffic makes its way up and down Wyoming Hill. Even with the hustle and bustle of downtown a block away, Hannah's has a comfortable neighborhood vibe.

Miss Lizzie's Coffee says owner Joe Pereira has died

FALL RIVER — The operators of Miss Lizzie’s Coffee announced on Monday, Nov. 9, that owner Joe Pereira has died. “Please bear with us during this difficult time. We will be open for limited hours for the next few days while we make arrangements,” the café announced on its Facebook page.

These 7 Fall River, Massachusetts Portuguese Bakeries Still Pull Malassadas or Sweet Bread From the Oven Every Morning

One bakery on this list unlocks its door at 4:30 in the morning. That’s before most coffee makers in Massachusetts have even clicked on.
