In 2016, Kevin Youkilis went from retired baseball player to beer brewer, opening up Loma Brewing Company along with his brother, Scott, in the siblings’ home state of California.
Two years later, Youk is bringing his talents back to Boston. The former Red Sox player is partnering with Mass. Bay Brewing Co. (makers of Harpoon) to bring two Loma beers to the East Coast. “Greek God of Hops” and “Appeasement”, both IPAs, will be available for distribution throughout Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island starting in September. (Kevin Youkilis earned the nickname “The Greek God of Walks” early in his career for his Hellenic-sounding surname and his penchant to get on base).
