Independent Fermentations Brewing

06/12/2026

Saturday's weather is looking great for the 3rd Annual Plymouth Pickle & Fermentation Festival! We have lots of drinks, food, music, education, and fun!!

Quench your thirst with fermented beverages including beer, wine, cider, mead, kombucha, tepache, jun, and coffee. We also have root beer for the kids.

Tempt your taste buds with kimchi, pierogi, pizza, donuts, ice cream, sauerkraut, and (of course), all things PICKLED!

Learn something new about fermentation such as anaerobic composting, homebrewing, different bacteria/yeast that help your gut microbiome, spying on yeast under a microscope, and make your own sauerkraut.

This year we are adding a culture swap - trade your SCOBY for sourdough starter.

So dive into a day of pickling and fermenting fun at IndieFerm. It's going to be a big dill.

See ya Saturday.

Tomorrow is not looking like a "beer garden day" with predicted temps around 50 degrees, rain, and wind up to 50 mph. So we have made the decision to cancel our live music with Dave Yaeger tomorrow. We will try to reschedule Dave for another appearance before the summer is over.

Irish Session is still a go for Sunday indoors from 2 to 5 PM.

The Shady Roosters will be back on June 6 and the Plymouth Pickle and Fermentation Festival is coming up in 2 weeks on the 13th of June.

Have you started making plans for the weekend yet?

Plan on visiting IndieFerm on Saturday and hear the tunes of Dave Yaeger from 5 to 8pm. You might know Dave as the singing science teacher at Plymouth South High School. Or maybe you know him from The David James Duo or Tupelo Honey or Speedtrap, that is just a sampling of his musical projects. He will be solo this time. Dave has a million songs (almost) and is always entertaining. Check out https://www.facebook.com/p/Daveyaegermusic-100048913266644/ for more about Dave Yaeger.

And on Sunday we will have another edition of our bi-weekly Irish Session with Stephen Lindsay and Friends from 2 to 5pm. They play an incredible variety of traditional Irish tunes and some modern songs as well. They usually sneak in a Bob Dylan or John Prine song also. And we will run our Irish Session beer can special again, just $5 for a 16 oz can of Irish Riviera Red Ale. Sunday only. Check out Steve and his musical schedule here: https://www.facebook.com/TheLindsaysMusic/

We will be serving 12 different beers on tap, 3 non-alcoholic kombuchas, Margarita Seltzer, hard apple cider, two different red wines and 2 white wines, and our brand new Orange Blossom Mead. All made in-house at 127 Camelot Drive in Plymouth.

And in 2 weeks, on June 13th, it's the 3rd annual Plymouth Pickle and Fermentation Festival at IndieFerm. A day of pickled and fermented fun.

Irish acoustic, trad and contemporary and more.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the brewery yesterday for oysters, treats, and tasty beverages! The Mass Oyster Project coordinated the oyster social event. Jeanne and Sam were there to talk about the great work they do using oyster shells to protect and restore MA coastlines. Learn more at https://massoyster.org

The oysters were from Duxbury and shucked by Henry, owner of Cape Oyster Experiences https://capeoysterexperiences.com/
Henry brought 300 oysters and ran out in 2 hrs; he said he'll bring more when he returns to IndieFerm on July 11th. Can't wait!!

Hopefully you got to try some of the amazing food hand-made by Wilde Flour Bakery. They are always coming up with something new to tempt your tastebuds. Check out their delicious creations at https://www.facebook.com/p/Wilde-Flour-61556809110350/

Thanks also to The Cordobas and the Shady Roosters for entertaining everyone with their cool tunes and rockin' beats.

And special thanks to Larry and Bob for working so dang hard to make the event successful! Hopefully you are taking a well-deserved break today.

If you missed all the fun, stop by the taproom today and get the low down from Paul.
