WOBURN, MA — You'll soon be able to get a beer and a shot at Woburn's Lord Hobo Brewing Company — a coronavirus vaccine shot.
The brewery is partnering with the city of Woburn and Armstrong Ambulance Service to hold a first-come, first-served vaccination clinic each Tuesday, beginning May 25.
Come to the brewery's 5 Draper Street beer garden to get a single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and a free beer, the brewery said.

So if you're not vaccinated yet, this is your chance for a J&J and an IPA, as Lord Hobo put it.

"The Mayor approached us with this event," she added.

Correction: An earlier version of this story, citing Lord Hobo, misstated who was paying for the beer. The brewery is providing the beer.
