With the approaching school year ahead, we say goodbye to many of our staff who return to teaching and student life. In their absence, we will not be staffed with enough people to realistically meet demand (y’all can really crush the pizzas!) and will close on September 20, 2026. This year we decided to make that a permanent closure date.

10 years ago we purchased this property with the goal of creating Odd Alewives. After 9 seasons and many projects later, our business has outgrown our own personal goals and ambitions. Sometimes you just know when it’s time and we feel ready and excited to move onto another chapter. 

We can’t thank you enough for the years of support you have given us! Many of you we now call good friends. Many summer nights have been spent in the beer garden catching up with friends and family, celebrating your birthdays, upcoming weddings, even honoring the passing of your loved ones, and that has really meant a lot to us.

Lastly, a shout out to our staff. We have always attracted the most lovable oddballs to the Odd Alewives ‘island of misfit toys’ team. It’s been an honor working with you, thank you for making hard work fun!

Our updated schedule is posted below. If you have gift certificates, now is the time to use them. We hope to see you once more before we close the barn doors for good.


With love,

Sarah & John
