Beantown Brewery The Beantown Brewery is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287 . It is filled with raiders who ( according to logs on Tower Tom ' s computer ) , kidnapped Lily Tourette and accidentally killed her after ransoming her for food . Background . This now dilapidated - and - rundown brewing operation was a locally owned and operated venture during the waning years of pre - War American society . The brewery bottled the Beantown brown beer , a locally - produced brand . It was a typical " common man ' s beer " that contained a higher - than - average alcohol content and an inexpensive price tag . This brew was on tap in several Boston - based establishments . The Beantown Brewery bottled at least one Gwinnett beverage and had a tasting room on site . The brewery offered tours of the bottling operation , which cost $ 25 per visit . The tours were held every half hour and lasted 5 to 6 minutes . A gift shop sold packs of beer that customers could buy to take home . As part of the tour , visitors received a $ 5 discount on purchases made from the gift shop . Complementary samplings were offered to departing guests in the parking lot . Present - day , this facility is a fortified raider stronghold under the supervision of Tower Tom , a small - time warlord , responsible for the death of Lily Tourette , the sister of the boss of a rival gang operating out of a local military rationing site . Tom and his gang had apparently arrived at Beantown Brewery for the beer . Layout . There are two entrances : one locked ( Advanced ) and the other freely accessible . Both open to anterooms before the main factory floor . The unlocked door enters onto the guest entrance where a greeter ' s desk sits . On that terminal is instructions on giving factory tours . Behind the greeter ' s desk is a gift shop , where a cymbal monkey will activate if detected . There may also be a raider in this room . Catwalks line the main factory room allowing for easy traversal around the room , making the factory floor effectively a " kill zone . " Using the catwalk and going to the northernmost side , the player character will enter Tower Tom ' s office , which has some minor loot as well as a weapons workbench . There is also an elevator to the factory floor . Tower Tom may hide in this elevator if injured , forcing the player character to open the elevator to get him out . The computer in Tower Tom ' s office adapts to one ' s actions in the world . If other notable raiders are dead ( i . e Red or Jared ) then the computer will update accordingly about the Sole Survivor ' s actions . There are two sets of traps : a tripwire between the elevator and the factory floor ( bottom floor ) , and strings of cans around a chemistry station on the factory floor . There is also a puzzling room to the south . While hugging the south wall catwalk , there is a downward metal staircase , but also an upward concrete staircase . Going up , there is a room with a few raiders and an Easy locked door . Opening it , the player character finds a room lined with desks with computers , guarded by a radroach . All computers are dead except one which appears to have quarterly reports , all of which are corrupted except the Q4 Projections . But the computer appears to remember the order in which the Sole Survivor viewed the reports . For example , if the Sole Survivor clicked Q1 Data , they are returned to the previous menu , but the Exit button is replaced with a Back button . Every time the Survivor clicks a report except for Q4 Projections , the stack gets one deeper , indicating that there may be a code in the order that the quarterly reports are accessed . The code however , cannot be discovered from the brewery holotape . The holotape contains a glitch , but nothing more , and it is only meant for the Trouble Brewin ' quest . Appearances . The Beantown Brewery only appears in " Fallout 4 " . Behind the scenes . The Beantown Brewery is likely a reference to the , which produces the Samuel Adams brand of beers . The actual location provides tours of their facility and sample tastings similar to the ones described on the reception terminal entry . The geographical location is almost 1 to 1 with the former location of the Watch City Brewing Company in Waltham . Watch City Brewing was a craft beer manufacturer and restaurant that was founded in 1996 and went out of business in 2014 . It derives its name from Waltham ' s nickname as " The Watch City , " as the town was home to the world - renowned Waltham Watch Company until 1957 .
