Hog Island Beer Company | Orleans

For local beer lovers, the hardest question when opening a new brewery was: what do we name it? After a paddleboard trip to the uninhabited Hog Island they knew. Hog Island, located on Little Pleasant Bay in Orleans overlooks Nauset Beach and the dune shacks that dot the coastline. The rest was history and today, Hog Island Beer Co. offers a wide selection of beers to choose from as well as events and tours.
