About the brewery:

“Independent Fermentations Brewing (aka IndieFerm) is a small craft beer brewery, kombucha brewery, tap room, homebrew supply shop, and hop farm all located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. IndieFerm was founded by Paul Nixon in 2014 after more than 2 decades of homebrewing.

IndieFerm specializes in making craft beers with locally grown ingredients with an emphasis on Belgian and German styles. We brew what we like to drink and that covers a lot of territory. We tend to like beers with balance, believing that a beer made with the perfect mix of malts and hops is better than a beer overloaded with either one. In other words, we make a lot more than just New England IPA’s. The guiding mantra is “beer should taste like beer”. In an era when breweries are willing to add just about anything to their beers, we sometimes describe our brewing approach as “radically traditional.”

Our tap room has 12 beers and several kombuchas on tap Tuesdays and Thursday through Sunday every week (closed Mondays and Wednesdays). In the warmer months we often have a pop-up food vendor and live music in the beer garden on Saturdays. We are always pet and family friendly. IndieFerm is also the home of the annual Plymouth Pickle and Fermentation Festival held in June.

Our homebrew store, IndieFerm Supply, has everything the new or experienced home brewer needs to make their own beer, kombucha, cider, wine, or mead as well as supplies for home fermented foods and cheese. We frequently hold classes on brewing beer, kombucha making, cheese making, and other fermentation topics.

Our hop farm is located in the Chiltonville section of Plymouth on land owned by Wildlands Trust. We have a total of 400 hop plants growing there including centennial, cascade, and nugget hop varieties. We are still brewers first and foremost but it is great to grow and harvest some of the ingredients for our beer ourselves.”

SHK Music Presents: The Dogmatics and The Carnivals

Boston Harbor Distillery – November 8, 2025

12R Ericsson St, Dorchester, MA 02122 (Directions)

On Saturday, November 8, the Boston Harbor Distillery welcomes back one of the city’s most legendary rock ’n’ roll bands—The Dogmatics. Formed in 1981, The Dogmatics burst onto the Boston scene with their raw, high-energy mix of garage rock, punk, and rockabilly, releasing two acclaimed albums on Homestead Records and sharing stages with The Replacements, The Bangles, and the Fleshtones. Though tragedy struck in 1986 with the loss of bassist Paul O’Halloran, the band’s music has endured, inspiring generations of Boston rock fans. Reuniting in recent years, they’ve released new music through Rum Bar Records, including their 2025 full-length Nowheresville—their first in nearly 40 years—and remain one of Boston’s most vital and beloved acts.

Sharing the night are The Carnivals, the latest creation from Boston rockabilly mainstay Kevin Patey, best known for his long-running project Jittery Jack. With The Carnivals, Patey draws on the greasy rhythms of 1950s New Orleans R&B, delivering a spirited, witty, and irresistibly danceable sound. Their new album, Fiesta Time, brims with party anthems, including a rollicking tribute to the “Greasy Pole” contest at Gloucester’s St. Peter’s Fiesta. Expect a night of sweat-soaked rock ’n’ roll that moves from New Orleans shuffle to Boston garage grit—two great bands, one unforgettable show.

$25 Adv/$30 DOS

Doors are at 8pm. Showtime is 8:30pm.

NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES

This event is being presented by SHK Music at the Boston Harbor Distillery – a wonderfully unique and intimate setting to take in great music with its 1850’s architecture, great acoustics, comfortable seating and fantastic selection of made-on-the-premises liquors and liqueurs.
