PAWTUCKET BREWERY
'Pawtucket Brewery' is a fictional brewery on the television series ''Family Guy'' and is the place of employment of the show's main character Peter Griffin. It is most likely based on the real life Boston Beer Co. which brews Samuel Adams Beer. Pawtucket Patriot's signature (and perhaps only) product is Pawtucket Patriot Ale.
Although it is never explicitly stated, the brewery is most likely located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It is named for its original owner, Pawtucket Pat, although his name may ultimately refer to the Rhode Island town as well.
So far, the brewery has been the central location of the sub-plot in two episodes, although its portrayal in each episode sharply contrasts with the other.
The brewery was first seen in "Wasted Talent" where it was shown to be a surreal place that shares many similarites with the chocolate factory in the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The brewery's owner, Pawtucket Pat, is a whimsical character largely based off of Gene Wilder's portrayal Willy Wonka (nearly the entire first half of the episode is a homage to the film). Although it should be noted that one of the earlier espiodes, "Mind Over Murder", showed the "patriot" on the can coming to life and identifying himself as "Pawtucket Pat" after Peter bumped his head. However, this could be seen as nothing more than Peter's own delusion, especially since he hadn't met the brewery's owner at that point.
The second episode which centered the sub-plot on the Pawtucket Brewery was "Jungle Love" where Peter quit his job as a fisherman and took one with the brewery. This time, the brewery was portrayed much more realistically which was humourously addressed when Peter remarked "This place sure has changed since Pawtucket Pat sold it." One of the fringe benefits the brewery apparently offers its workers is free beer, as long as it is consumed off the clock. However, Peter shows little regard for the "off the clock" stipulation in the episode causing him to be drunk nearly all the time. This leads to Peter being demoted to a menial office job in the brewery's basement later in the episode.
This version of the brewery has been featured in subsequent espisodes when the plot calls for Peter to be shown at work.

Versions of the Brewery
So far, the brewery has been the central location of the sub-plot in two episodes, although its portrayal in each episode sharply contrasts with the other.
"Wasted Talent"
The brewery was first seen in "Wasted Talent" where it was shown to be a surreal place that shares many similarites with the chocolate factory in the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The brewery's owner, Pawtucket Pat, is a whimsical character largely based off of Gene Wilder's portrayal Willy Wonka (nearly the entire first half of the episode is a homage to the film).

"Jungle Love" (and subsequent episodes)
The second episode which centered the sub-plot on the Pawtucket Brewery was "Jungle Love" where Peter quit his job as a fisherman and took one with the brewery. This time, the brewery was portrayed much more realistically which was humourously addressed when Peter remarked "This place sure has changed since Pawtucket Pat sold it."
