Sour Not Sorry Brewing in Plymouth ready to open its first taproom. Here are the details
PLYMOUTH − Sour beers are hitting the sweet spot for a growing number of specialty brew enthusiasts, who will now have a place to gather, compare notes and share puckered expressions with the opening of Sour Not Sorry’s taproom in downtown Plymouth on Saturday.
The brightly colored space, a reflection of the eye-catching designs that make the brand’s cans stand out, will be open at 8A Court St. from 1 to 9 p.m.
Owner Colin Crociati bills it as the state’s first sour-beer taproom.
Crociati, of Plymouth, has been brewing and canning his variety of sour brews in a converted shed behind his family’s home in West Plymouth for a few years now. He is also the canner and delivery man, taking cases to liquor stores, bars and beer fests.
He has a much longer history of working for local breweries before striking out on his own.
He spent nearly a year working on the space and getting all the required permits. He created a Kickstarter campaign that reached its $12,000 goal to help him get to the finish line.
“We are moving out of the Sour Shed and into an actual visitable spot!” Crociati posted on the company’s website.
The new space is on the basement level of the Court Street location, which Crociati has said will lend itself to a speakeasy vibe.

His brews come with names as interesting as the cans in which they’re packed, such as Total Deutschebag (Crociati’s first sour), Monk Chunk, Spray Can, Chillin’ With My Gnome, Octaphant and Hannah Colado, which is named for the nurse who helped him during his successful cancer treatments a few years back. A portion of the proceeds from those sales are donated to area cancer treatment and research organizations.
He will serve four or five beers to start, but Crociati said he hopes to eventually work his way up to 12. He has partnered with Brewery 44 in Carver to offer a few beers of diverse types and said he hopes to become a go-to stop along the region's beer trail.
He said he hopes the curious and the already converted will check out the new location and even take some beer home with them.
“Draft will be pouring, and you can take cans to go,” he posted on the company's Facebook page this week. “We will see you there!”
The taproom will be open Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 1 to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 6 p.m.
