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.

The clinic will run from 6 to 9 p.m. each Tuesday, Lord Hobo said.

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

Woburn is providing the shots while Lord Hobo is providing the beer, the brewery's Executive General Manager Kate Ballenger said.

"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.
