December 13, 2019 — The following was released by the New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center:

New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center is partnering with Moby Dick Brewing Co. for a Scallops and Beer Fundraiser on Thursday, December 19th. Enjoy a variety of scallop specials and suggested beer pairings at Moby Dick Brewing Co. (16 S. Water Street) from 4:00pm to close. 15% of the sales from these scallop specials will go towards the Fishing Heritage Center.

This event was inspired by the discovery of an archival image (below) that is captioned, “Dawson’s Brewery of New Bedford, Mass unites with the fishermen’s Union to promote sea scallops across the land using the phrase, “Beer and New Bedford Sea Scallops are made for each other.” Dawson’s Brewery opened in 1889 and remained a local institution in New Bedford through the mid- 1970s.

Stop by Moby Dick Brewing Co. on December 19th to see why beer and sea scallops were made for each other and to support the Fishing Heritage Center.
