Jim: Brewery Operations Manager

Jim Tales & Ales

Favorite Ipswich Ale: Ipswich IPA

When Jim isn't hanging out coordinating shipping logistics or making sure the brewery is running smoothly he can be found pouring beer at area events or performing quality checks on some of our fine Ipswich Ales!

Jim has been with the Ipswich Ale Brewery since our early years and is notably one of the faces of Ipswich Ale in the media. In his spare time, Jim can be found serving up his famous Jim Jams hot dogs or acting as catcher of the Ipswich Ale Brewers vintage base ball team.

Having spent parts of his life in California and Texas, Jim's southern hospitality mixed with his go-with-the-flow attitude make him a perfect fit for a job with many moving parts. Additionally, his ability to put a smile on anybody's face or get a laugh out of you is unparalleled by any other employee. He is known for giving others in the brewery nicknames, singing out loud, and making the best of any situation!

He's a great friend and a perfect person for this months featured employee!

What's Hoppening

Keep your eyes peeled for these tasty brews....

In celebration of all that we've

accomplished in our 21 years as a brewery,

we've brewed up an Imperial Dark Anniversary Ale!

Keep your eyes peeled for this 22oz beer on shelves!

Warmer weather brings thoughts of summer and Ipswich Summer Ale!

Now available in stores in 6pks,12pks, and 22oz bottles.

Update: Last month we announced plans to release our Summer Ale in cans for the first time ever. We've been so hard at work finishing the new brewing facility that our canned beer project is taking a backseat. Look forward to some of your favorite Ipswich Ale's in cans in the near future!

Also available in store's is the Ipswich Beach Basket Mix pack!

Complete with 4 Ipswich Original Ales, 4 Summer Ales and 4 IPA's this mix pack is a perfect companion for warmer weather and a must-have for BBQ's!
