The mission is to remind customers that it is vital to find a balance between playing hard and working hard through some damn good beer
The Weiss Company makes pure handbrew beer that is delicious and bound to give you a fun time. We want to communicate to our customers that balance is key. Oftentimes, when you do something too much, you begin to lose focus, drive, and passion. It is beneficial to have a breather where you don’t think about work at all. Have a beer and just relax.

Foxborough
Foxborough, Massachussetts is where the Weiss company is located.
Our inspiration for making homebrewed beer is Founder’s day. Every year there is a celebration that includes a parade, amusement parks, and fireworks to honor the day the town was discovered. It is also referred to as, Pounder’s Day because we all pound beer.

Why teal? Besides the primary colors, The Weiss Company selected teal green as the central color because it represents ovarian cancer. Every woman has a 1 in 72 risk of getting this disease within their life time. And those diagnosed have a 1 in 100 chance of dying from it. The Weiss Company shows their support to those that have struggled with this disease or those that have lost a loved one from it.
