Story
The Twin Lights on Thacher Island in Rockport have been a beacon for sailors, merchants, and fisherman alike since 1771. The Twin Lights were the last lighthouses built under British rule after John Hancock presented a petition to the General Court to get their construction approved. The Twin Lights are a staple of the Rockport community, and we couldn’t think of better name for our New England Double IPA than these historic monoliths.
