Harper Lane Brewery teams up with The Local Eatery
There’s something exciting brewing at The Local Eatery, 16 Wareham St., Middleboro. Starting this summer, The Local Eatery will be working in tandem with Harper Lane Brewery, another business that will be sharing their building space. The two businesses will be working in tandem, with Harper Lane providing seating for Local Eatery customers.
“Patrons will be able to enjoy our offerings together as they'll be able to get food from our restaurant and enjoy it while drinking brews from Harper Lane,” Local Eatery co-owner and pastry chef Destiny Smith told The Taunton Daily Gazette in a previous interview.
