Our Story
Tom Allen had been dreaming of turning his love for homebrewing beer into a profession for years. But it wasn’t until a playground chat with his friend Matt Guernsey that Arlington Brewing Company was born.
As the two engineers and Arlington residents watched their kids play during the pandemic, they talked about adding a new ingredient to the Arlington, Massachusetts, beer scene.
Hundreds of test brews and many award-winning beers later, Tom and Matt are united by their desire to feel and share the joy that quality beer brings. They spread that joy one beer at a time at events and through package stores all over the metro-west area.
Great beer for a great community. That’s what it’s all about.

What do robots and tasty beers have in common? The details matter.
Meet Tom, head brewer at Arlington Brewing Company. Tom spent two decades in robotics and manufacturing engineering, where he specialized in designing for quality and consistency—both needed to make every beer taste great, sip after sip.
Tom has devoted years to understanding both the art and the science of creating world-class beers. He’s won lots of beer-making awards (go Tom!), and he loves that in brewing there’s always something new to learn. As a result, our beers are consistently delicious and engineered to make you happy.
