15 Best Craft Breweries in Boston

“Went to get lunch when we got to Boston. Was close by our hotel and I love craft beer so was excited to try something local. Split the burger for lunch which was excellent. Tried three different beers and enjoyed each one. They didn’t do flights but do offer small pours so it made it easy to try different brews.

Venue was nice as well and easy to get to in the Seaport area.“

“Long long long live overdue visit to the Best Brewery in Boston. All due respect to Sam Adams, Trill, and others these guys are masters of the IPA but don't go to sleep on Merry Dancer (dark lager) or the Frozie Cup Series. If you're hankering for light the Rox Pils and Kolsch are top tier! Beers to make you happy and a great space with parking. What else do you need in Boston?“

“Highly recommend !!! Adams Apple - cider , Candlepin- light, and Fiver- hazy ipa, to start. Atmosphere is really open and inviting. Lots of natural light but that cozy dark vibe too. Bardo’s pizza is so good. It’s kind of giving naan with toppings in consistency and with super crusty crust like almost burnt but don’t be alarmed. Staff were overall really attentive and friendly! The outdoor space looked great but the winter weather did not cooperate. The Gen Zesty was unbelievably pickle tasting perfection but no soggy pickles! The ranch pickle dressing was so good you didn’t need the actual pickles on the pizza. Giving chicken bacon ranch but to the next level.“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“Good beer, good times and good friends“

“We had the Biria chicken tacos, ordered a 2nd round cuz they were so good! I had a strawberry margarita - was delicious. Vibe was great around 1100 after a concert at the House of Blues. Will def be back !“

“This neighborhood gem is always worth a visit, but the reason I’m reviewing after years of regular visits is the welcoming, compassionate nature of owners Liz and Jen. Today, during a packed house viewing of a USWNT game, Liz made sure to welcome every customer and search for free seats for them. I overheard several parties comment on how kind they thought this was, AND how much they enjoyed their beers. I, of course, wholeheartedly agree! Please come support this small, woman-owned, LGBT-owned local business!“

“Very well made beer, nice diversity in styles (NEIPA, sour, stout and even a couple N/As) Relaxing atmosphere.“

“ODE TO HARPOON STOUT:
Oh Harpoon, my dear Harpoon,
Your buttery stout makes me swoon!

Why oh why can't I find it when I'm out?
There are not many truly good stouts.

Please find a way to put it in a bottle,
The tech seems to need Aristotle!

Come on, at least offer it in kegs,
Don't make us drink Guinness's dregs!

ORIGINAL:
Great tasting room! I had no idea that harpoon made such a lovely, buttery stout! I did not try all of the beers, I kept having the stout! Tasting room is $15 and bottomless 4 oz glasses!“

“Great beer and outdoor space“

“We recently held a small 60 person family/friends event in the Squirrel’s Den at Mighty Squirrel and couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

The upstairs space felt separate enough for our group, but still connected to the rest of the brewery. The staff were helpful and attentive, and kept things running smoothly

We went with a breakfast spread, and the food was outstanding — fresh, well-prepared, and a real hit with everyone there.

They made the whole experience feel effortless on our end. Would absolutely recommend Mighty Squirrel to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-run space for their next event.“

“Loved the atmosphere,good food and great beer. Great service!“

“Good location! Good beer!“

“Best onion rings I’ve ever had. Convenient to Charles Theatre. Nice selection of their own brews. Fair pricing too! We will go again for sure!“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“
