The Haffenreffer Brewery is included on the List of Registered Historic Places in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. It was added on June 2, 1982. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Registered_Historic_Places_in_Suffolk_County%2C_Massachusetts]

Haffenreffer & Co. was established in 1870. [http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/02/17/the_toast_of_jp/?page=2 The toast of JP - The Boston Globe ] ]

The facility is located in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, a short walk from the Stony Brook T station.

You will arrive at the corner of Boylston and Armory Streets. There are a couple of different routes you may take to reach the facility from this point.

This sign directs you down Armory Street towards Porter Street, where you will take a left to reach the part of the facility now owned by the Boston Beer Company, and where you could take a tour of the Samuel Adams Brewery.

There are numerous businesses now occupying the main buildings of "The Brewery." These include:

* JP School of Dance
* Mike's Fitness
* ULA Cafe
* Stonybrook Woodworking
* Bikes not Bombs
* City Life/Vida Urbana
* Children's Music Center of JP
* The Parent Review
* Women in the Buildin`g Trades
* Boston Beer Company

At the intersection of Boylston and Armory you may decide not to turn right, as in the captioned descriptions, but to continue on Boylston.

You may also continue on Boylston Street to Brookside Avenue, which runs along the far side of the facility.

The top of the smokestack from the old Haffenreffer Brewery has crumbled, so the letters on its side now read FENREFFER BREWERS. It is unsure whether with further upgrades the top will be repaired.
