A new collaboration beer release, titled "Good Jake," is set to launch in Woburn, with 5% of the proceeds benefiting the Massachusetts Professional Firefighters Association. The event, which promises to be a festive gathering, will feature activities such as a fire truck photo opportunity for children and merchandise sales, with early presales already generating $1,000 in revenue.

The brewery is excited to host a large turnout, including hundreds of firefighters from across the state. They have actively promoted the event, reaching out to 12,000 firefighters in Massachusetts to ensure strong attendance. The collaboration aims to strengthen community ties while supporting local heroes.

However, the meeting also highlighted serious concerns regarding financial responsibilities. A commissioner addressed a significant delinquency issue, revealing that one business was $271,000 behind on taxes and water bills. The commissioner emphasized the importance of compliance, stating that businesses must stay current on their financial obligations to maintain their licenses. This stern reminder underscores the city's commitment to fiscal responsibility and accountability among local businesses.

As the beer release event approaches, it remains to be seen how the community will respond to both the celebration and the call for financial diligence.
